hi dotan:

that is not exactly what i mean: i was not clear enough: so another time:

i mean in kde 3.5 in the same row as 'copy' under 'edit' the 'copy
files' possibility that i cannot find back in kde4.x.x
i'll look at exact the version of kde 4.x.x later. this version of kde
4.x.x is on another (non-production) machine with os debian_sid, up to date.

thanks for your answer,

kind regards,

steef

Its the COPY TO.. Menu option that he's talking about there. Its in the
konqueror's edit menu.
The user can copy and paste files in one go with that option as it
opens a dialog box asking for the destination. Also I believe it keeps
a list of most used locations as part of the option so that you can
just select from the list.

Thanks, you might want to suggest that the Places menu be available in
that dialogue, then, as that is the KDE 4 way of doing it:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=237115

Actually, if it were to use the standard File Chooser dialogue, then
it would have Places. You might want to comment on this bug as well,
which asks that recent locations be added to the File Chooser
dialogue:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104501

Not really needed;

In Dolphin's 'Settings Menu' choose 'Configure Dolphin', and 'General'
then select the "Context Menu" tab, and make sure the "Show 'Copy To' and
'Move To' commands" item is ticked.
