            Bug ID: 508952
           Summary: Dolphin not showing option to copy/move/link files and
                    folders directly to the desktop
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
      Version First 25.08.0
       Reported In:
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
Attempting to drag files and folders to the desktop doesn't show the option to
move/copy/link when dragging them directly to the desktop. This does work for
folders directly in dolphin, but not for the desktop itself. You can also hold
"shift" while over the desktop to forcefully move it.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open dolphin
2. Find a file or folder you would like to move to the desktop
3. Drag it away from dolphin and drop it onto the desktop

OBSERVED RESULT
The file/folder has a "+" sign next to it, but dropping it does nothing.

EXPECTED RESULT
Dropping it should have given an option to move, copy, and link (among a few
other options) to the desktop.
