Bug ID: 520450
Summary: Copy zip file from VMWARE guest to Dolphin failed.
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

Summary
When dragging and dropping a .zip file from a Windows Guest (VMware Workstation
Pro 26H1) to Dolphin or Desktop on KDE Plasma Wayland host, the operation
partially fails: the file is not copied correctly.
Steps to Reproduce
Run VMware Workstation Pro 26H1 with a Windows guest (VMware Tools installed
and up to date).
In the Windows guest, select a .zip file.
Drag the .zip file from the guest to Dolphin window or Desktop on the host (KDE
Plasma Wayland).
Observe the drop behavior.
Actual Results
Right-click context menu (Paste) shows 3 items.
Only 1 file is actually placed/copied.
The copied .zip file is often corrupted, incomplete, or the copy operation
fails silently (file size wrong or cannot be opened).
Expected Results
The .zip file should be copied completely and correctly (1 item shown and 1
valid file placed).
Additional Information
This happens consistently with .zip files (other file types may work
partially).
Drag & Drop works better than previous versions but still has this quirk.
The temporary files appear in ~/.cache/vmware/drag_and_drop/.
System Information
Host: KDE Plasma [your version, e.g. 6.3.x] on Wayland (echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
→ wayland)
plasmashell --version: plasmashell 6.6.5
dolphin --version: dolphin 26.04.1
VMware Workstation Pro: 26H1 (build number if known)
Guest OS: Windows 11
Reproducible on both Desktop and Dolphin window.
