Sure, I could have stfw for it or installed KDE 3, but so could the parent poster install KDE 4 and file his own bugs. I'm trying to help him, if you haven't noticed, and your interference is not appreciated. I have no problem with you looking for opportunities to attack me, but please don't do that at Steef's expense. -- Dotan Cohen http://bido.com http://what-is-what.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Does he then perform a normal paste operation in the destination folder? One _work_around_ if this is a critical feature would be to press F4 to open a terminal pane in Dolphin, then use the "cp" command as need. They let the user type out the name of the files to be copied, assuming that is the critical feature here. As a bonus you also have tab-completion and "mv"! If I'm missing the gist of the feature then please tell me what I'm missing. It certainly doesn't look like a killer feature from what I understand, but of course that is subjective. If it provides something important I'll file a bug report. -- Dotan Cohen http://bido.com http://what-is-what.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
