Package: dolphin
Version: 4:4.4.5-2
Severity: normal
Dolphin does not properly escape filenames when dragging and dropping between
applications. In particular, files containing ';' in the name (such as the
filename 'foo;bar.txt') are not correctly translated. For instance, dragging
the file 'foo;bar.txt' to Iceweasel from Nautilus provides Firefox with the URL
'file:///home/zpalmer/ztemp/foo%3Bbar.txt'. Dragging the same file to Iceweasel
from Dolphin results in 'file:///home/zpalmer/ztemp/foo;bar.txt', which
prevents the file from being loaded. Dragging the file from Nautilus to an
Icedove mail window successfully attaches it to the e-mail, while dragging it
from Dolphin results in the file being truncated. (This was the cause of bug
#608928, which I reported without realizing that Dolphin was involved.)
I am unfamiliar with the D&D API that is used between these applications. My
expectation, however, is that some rich variation of the dragged resource (such
as a URN field) is being set by Nautilus and not by Dolphin. Applications
which do not depend on this kind of input seem to work fine with both file
managers; for instance, dragging from either file manager onto Konsole or
gnome-terminal seems to work fine.
