Schedule pastes for when directory content has been enumerated, rather than displaying an inaccurate permission denial error

Brainstorm

If I attempt to paste whilst a directory’s content loads, I observe:

Cannot paste: You do not have permission to write into this folder.

This means that I must wait until its content has been enumerated to paste.

My Environment

dolphin-25.12.2-2.fc43

I would suggest this error message about permissions is related to Dolphin’s underlyingi KIO framework - you know that when dealing with a directory, the framework must verify write permissions before the metadata is fully available, so if you try to paste too quickly the checks might fail because the system hasn’t yet returned the information required.

This would be worse as folders get bigger… you must wait for the directory to finish loading.
