Note that I did not touch anything during paste process. If you cannot reproduce, try to paste from a slow device like a USB drive. 2) [2-a]you are copying a lot of files, like 1.jpg, 2.jpg, ..., 100.jpg from a slow device like a USB drive (it's easier to see the problem with a slow device) [2-b] you are in the destination folder while the files copy is in progress, and let's assume that in that moment the system is copying the 50th file (50.jpg) [2-c] while 50.jpg is being copied (together with other files), you start operating within Dolphin on other (already existing) files in the same folder, like a.pdf, b.pdf, c.pdf, ..., z.pdf by selecting/highlighting them. [2-d]So since you have manually selected/highlighted some files, Dolphin is not selecting/highlighting new files that are being pasted. But as soon you "release" the selection of files by clicking someelsewhere, Dolphin will start selecting/highlighting new files that are being pasted *after* that moment, so files from let's say, 60.jpg to 100.jpg. If we want Dolphin to highlight pasted files it should do that with all file from 1.jpg to 100.jpg, not just a subset of them System details: dolphin-20.04.1-1.fc32.x86_64 KDE Frameworks 5.73.0 Qt 5.14.2 xcb windows system -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
