In previous versions of Plasma, I have been able to drag a file from Dolphin onto an app in the taskbar, and the app would open the file. For example:

Open Dolphin → Drag video file on mpv taskbar icon →mpv plays video

That no longer seems to work. I recall I used to be able to do the same thing with LibreOffice files and LibreOffice, but that doesn’t work, either. mpv works fine when dragging videos/folders onto the app when it is open, though. I tried dragging files into mpv using Nautilus, but like Dolphin, nothing happened.

Same happening for me.

It seems this bug has already been reported and resolved. I will wait for the update to be available on my package manager before closing as solved.

The 6.6.1 updates finally became available, and the issue was solved. Thanks, KDE devs!
