Now if I use the “save as” dialog and drag the “file100.txt” link from desktop?
No, it does not work. (This will create a file in /root/desktop/ called files100.txt)
Because the files dialog don’t see links correctly.
The link is a valid filename itself.
If you want the other path, drop the other file.
My suggestions:
Change the “open files” dialog, so I can drop a link icon anywhere and not just in the white box.
Sounds like a good idea. Have you checked if it is already a wish report on bugs.kde.org?
If yes, vote for it, if no you could create one.
Cheers,
