Hello,

I don't know who invented this change and why. Every time I want to copy and paste I get a context menu "where to". My goodnes, this has really gone too far and is now more annoying, because I've got a lot of copy/paste to do cleaning up and every time I press CTRL+V I have to answer this yet another step as if I did not know what I was doing. Maybe in some occasional copy/paste actions it is justyfiable, but not when I have to do it a 100 times. Has this not gone too far?

Will there or is there an option to switch this additional question off? This is not only in Dolphin, but I can see this popup meny apear in the browser, etc.

Regards,
Richard.

I'm using KDE 4.11.3 - I've never seen that option... Copy/Paste works just as it always has done.
What are the exact steps to reproduce it?

the context menu has only the one entry "where to"? never saw it, do you have multiple clipboards installed/running?

does a new/other user see this?

do you see this if you use the mouse to paste?

can you post a pic of the contex menu

Hello,

I don't have this variable defined, no such folder.

You have have a look at my screen-shot here:

Look at the Copypaste1.jpg file.

I am using Gentoo/Sabayon. If other people don't have this menu, is it possible this is distro related?

The context menu shows an option to switch off the actions and they can be enabled in the clipper options. The only problem is it doesn't save the change permanently and every time I shut down the context menu comes up again. Any way, I'll mark the question as answered. Thank you all for all the help.

Hm, that is unusual. Have you tried removing ~/.kde4/share/config/klipperrc from your system?
