Hello all,

Following some discussion on these bugs:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=287762
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154804

I would be willing (eager in fact) to implement some code to enable
context-sensitive drag 'n' drop functionality in LibKonq, whereby files
that are dragged within disk partitions are moved, while those that are
dragged across partition/disk boundaries are copied (potentially creating
links if dragged to the desktop?). Similar functionality exists in (amongst
others) Nautilus, Windows Explorer, and (not 100% sure on this one) OS X
Finder.

I've only aided in debugging in the past, so this is the first new
functionality I would be adding to KDE, but I would be glad to implement it
on my own (at least, say, for the first draft), and then provide the code
for review.
However, I don't want to go to these lengths if it would somehow be against
the views of KDE as a whole. Unsure where to ask such questions, I was
pointed here, where I ask you the following:


Is there any reason for me not to implement context-sensitive drag 'n' drop
in the LibKonq library?


Many thanks,

Rob Davies
