Description of problem: On real hardware, M6, Plasma, 64-bit This is a discovery in progress. Some of the customary drag the file and drop it on the app functions do not work, or do strange things. To recreate simply take something like a common mp4 file in the Videos folder and drag and drop it on the OpenShot desktop icon. Nothing happens. If you first open OpenShot and drag the file to the working files area that works fine. This process works just fine in M5. Use a common mp3 file in Music and drag and drop it on the VLC icon on the desktop. Nothing happens. If you open VLC and drag and drop the file to the VLC files to play section that works fine. Create a simple text.txt file with the text editor, save it in Documents then drag and drop it on the LibreOffice Writer icon on the desktop. LibreOffice Writer will not open with that text file. In fact it appears that LibreOffice goes a little crazy. Sorry, I need to tinker with this some more to fully understand it. If anyone can find more about this that would be appreciated. Thanks

(In reply to Nicolas Lécureuil from comment #2) > is it still valid with plasma 5.8.6 ? Dragging and dropping a txt document on the Libreoffice writer icon works while doing the same on the kwrite icon does not. Open kwrite and drop the same txt file on an empty working document and that will work. Dropping an mp3 file on the Audacity icon works just fine. Dragging the same file, or an mp4 file on the VLC icon, does not work. Dragging an mp4 file on the Openshot icon does not work. Open Openshot dragging an mp4 on that window works fine. Dropping a jpg file on the gimp icon works fine. I quite honestly don't know what's right or wrong here.
i would reassign this to the vlc package then ( maybe i am wrong ) :)
