Dolphin: dragging file to unmounted flash drive fails

[Adam Porter]

Binary package hint: kdebase

I plugged in my flash drive, and it isn't automatically mounted. I figured that Dolphin would mount it for me if I dragged files to it, so I tried, but got a "malformed URL" error. After I mounted the drive myself it worked fine.

It seems like it would be simple for Dolphin to automatically mount a drive. Even better would be for it to automatically unmount it when the operation is finished, if the drive was automatically mounted by Dolphin for a file operation.

Hi there!

Thanks for reporting this bug! Your bug seems to be a problem with the KDE program itself, and not with our KDE packages. While we appreciate your issue, it would be better if it was tracked at https://bugs.kde.org, so that the KDE developers can deal with this speedily and have direct communication with you as the reporter for more effective debugging.

Thanks!

Since when are legitimate upstream bugs closed as invalid here?

Since that became the Kubuntu bug policy in Kubuntu 10.04 https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Specs/LucidBugTriagePolicy
