GUI's just cannot ever expect to support all the command line options - no matter how hard KDE may try. ;-) After all, if a GUI genuinely had *everything* the entire command line can support, it would be as difficult to use and initially confusing as the command line itself is claimed to be. There is a workaround that only works for specific dot directories - create a symlink (using the command line) that does not use the dot prefix. ln -s ~/.somedir ~/linkdir You haven't said *why* you want to copy files into a dot directory anyway - these are USER CONFIG directories - they are *not* for storing non-application or non-config data. These are for user-specific settings, not user data. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
