Bug ID: 452587 Summary: File renaming with newlines does not work very well Product: dolphin Version: 21.12.3 Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: p...@ralfj.de CC: kfm-de...@kde.org Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY I often copy-paste the title of a PDF document into the filename so that I can easily tell what the file contains. However, if the title does not fit on a single line in the document (which is most of the time), that inadvertently inserts a newline into the filename that I then have to remove. The Dolphin rename logic does not handle newlines very well (and over the last year, this got worse). STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Copy-paste some title with a newline into it into the filename 2. Try to rename the file in dolphin to remove the filename OBSERVED RESULT Only one of the multiple lines is ever actually shown while renaming, the other lines are cut off. Navigating the cursor around this multi-line filename does not work very well. The up/down arrow keys navigate to neighboring files, so to navigate the multiple lines in the filename one has to use just the left/right arrow keys. EXPECTED RESULT I am not sure what the best way to handle this would be. IMO it would make sense to just remove newlines when I Ctrl-V some text into the filename -- one basically never wants a newline in a filename anyway. Alternatively, maybe there is a way to make the file rename mode better support filenames with newlines.
