Dolphin, right-click "Create new folder" missing

[meven]

You are running into 494679 – Dolphin populates "Create new" menu with the content of home dir more details in Dolphin "Create New" context menu is just showing contents of my Home Directory - #5 by solarisfire

This is fixed in KDE Frameworks 6.8, if you update this should be fixed.

First, it happened too fast to have actually copied all the files in the target directory.

Second, editing one of the new files in the copy revealed that it did NOT make a symlink or hardlink to the target directory.

So did this make a btrfs COW copy/reference to the target directory? That is the only thing that makes sense to me.

That’s btrfs magic, copy is “free”/instant, it is implicitely a sort of symlink that can diverge independently.

And KDE software will use reference copy by default when the filesystem supports it.

Anyway, I put a “Create folder” button in the dolphin toolbar to recover that function.

You can also use the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+N.
