Given how niche and technical this use case is, I would encourage potential users of this to send an MR. To impl this as a drop option natively: Our copyjob.h would need to support a `hardlink()` function, then dropJob would need to add a new DropAction. This can also be implemented as a kio_dnd plugin https://api.kde.org/frameworks/kio/html/classKIO_1_1DndPopupMenuPlugin.html I would expect a way to disable the drop action. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
