It doesn't work for me on PCLOS. I cannot drag a highlighted list of files from one open Dolphin window to another--nothing happens. The second window remains empty. (I have selected an unused directory.) Then, in the first open Dolphin, I can snap on Copy, but in the second window, Copy and Paste are grayed out.
