Error when pasting a file into Places

[ervumlens]

KE 9.2.0 Linux

Problem I'm trying to copy a file from the file manager (the Linux-equivalent of Windows' explorer.exe). I ctrl+c the file and ctrl+v over Places. I get the error dialog below.

These are local files.

This occurs when copying either a file or a folder, just one or more than one, into the project root or into a project subfolder. Same result with two different file managers (PCManFM and Thunar).

Log!

FYI, this is similar to (but not the same as) bug 103604. There is no mention of errors there, only the lack of copying.

I get junk in the data that's read from the clipboard, for example when logging in places.js.

Copy a file in file manager, then run this macro (based on the places.js code).

//this is a javascript macro
var srcURIs = null;
var srcType = null;
var flavor = 'text/uri-list'
if (xtk.clipboard.containsFlavors([flavor])) {
    srcType = flavor;
    srcURIs = xtk.clipboard.getTextFlavor(flavor);
} else {
    srcType = "(unknown)";
    srcURIs = xtk.clipboard.getText();
}

alert("Via xtk.clipboard: " + srcType + ": " + srcURIs);

In Windows, the code fails. In Linux, I get this:

Not quite a text/uri-list output. I see the same thing when logging the data. This might explain why searching for "/" in the string produces a substring not found error.

Did this work in other version? I think this is an enhancement.
