            Bug ID: 391936
           Summary: Plasma folderview and similar ignore (or bypass)
                    setgid directories
           Product: frameworks-plasma
           Version: 5.40.0
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: libplasma
          Assignee: notm...@gmail.com
          Reporter: pmw.go...@yahoo.co.uk
  Target Milestone: ---

I want to a directory of "public" news files and stuff.  I created
/home/shared/notices/public ("shared" is not a user) and made the "public"
directory setgid (chmod g+s public) and in group "users".  If I copy a file
into the directory using the command line "cp stuff
/home/shared/notices/public" the copied file gets group "users" as I expect.

In detail, the file ~paul/stuff was owned by paul:paul.  When copied, it became
/home/shared/notices/public/stuff owned by paul:users.

Now I added a folderview widget to my desktop, and set it to display the
contents of the public folder.  If I drag and drop the same file into the
folderview, it retains its old group (which is the one with the same name as my
userid) and so it does not become public.  It remains owned by paul:paul, which
is not what I want.

The same is true if I "Create New... Basic link to file or directory..." object
on the desktop, and point it at the same directory, drag and drop files retain
their old group setting, and don't get changed.
