[krusader] [Bug 471363] Mkdir FN bar button does not do tilde expansion
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=471363 --- Comment #2 from Henryk Hecht --- The bug priority is probably a matter of project standards, with which I am not familiar. Similar bugs, open and closed, on bugs.kde.org seem to all be "normal". I do not believe there is any governing standard for *nix GUIs here, nor have I done an exhaustive survey, but I did check a few different toolkits and programs, and everything from Tk to JavaFX seems to support tilde expansion where it is applicable. This accords with my own expectation, which is that it should work in (almost) any interactive context. This is a bit of a nuisance to implement, as it is a platform convention without platform support, but Qt, kdelibs, and krusader manage it well (mostly!). Unfortunately, I have not had the time to investigate whether my hypothesis about KIO in the original report is correct; I was hoping someone more familiar with the source and libraries (I haven't really done any KDE development since 3.x) would take a look. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=471363 Pedro V changed: What|Removed |Added Status|REPORTED|CONFIRMED Ever confirmed|0 |1 CC||voidpointertonull+bugskdeor ||g...@gmail.com --- Comment #1 from Pedro V --- Interesting, didn't even know that Mkdir could do more than just creating a directory in the current directory, but `test/test` works creating a nested directory, and even `../test` works creating a directory outside the current one. Even absolute paths work like `/home/username/test` , therefore I'd conclude that the user is right to expect tilde expansion to also work, but I can confirm in the following environment that it doesn't: Operating System: Kubuntu 23.10 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.8 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.110.0 Qt Version: 5.15.10 It's still not necessarily a bug as tilde expansion is a feature which is definitely not universally supported, therefore I believe that importance should be set to wishlist. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
