Bug ID: 471363
Summary: Mkdir FN bar button does not do tilde expansion
Classification: Applications
Product: krusader
Version: 2.8.0
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: krusader-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: m...@hhecht.e4ward.com
CC: krusader-bugs-n...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
When creating a directory with the F7 Mkdir button, tildes are treated as
literal strings, rather than being expanded to a user's home directory.
~/additional/paths and ~user/additional/paths should work as expected: i.e.,
they should be expanded to the correct home directory. This expansion works
for copy and move, which makes mkdir even more surprising.
It is possible that this is really a KIO bug. From briefly looking at the
krusader source, it looks like it goes:
ListPanelFunc::mkdir
files->mkDir
whence maybe:
DefaultFileSystem::mkDir
KIO::mkpath
I am not familiar with either the krusader or kio source, however, so this may
not be correct. All I'm certain of is that it doesn't work properly as an end
user.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open krusader, navigate to a writable directory other than $HOME.
2. Hit F7 or press the Mkdir button on the FN bar
3. Enter, e.g., ~/foo
OBSERVED RESULT
The directory ~ is created in the current directory, with foo beneath it.
EXPECTED RESULT
The directory foo should be created in the user's home directory.
