Currently, kasablanca, an FTP/FXP client for KDE exhibits behavior that while not "wrong" is probably a burden to a number of users besides myself. Let's say you are in directory A in the left-hand side (local or remote), and directory B on the right-hand side, and wish to transfer several nested directories showing on the RHS pane to the LHS. You highlight them and click the arrow to transfer. They transfer properly, but at the end of the transfer the current working directory displayed on both the LHS and RHS is whatever nested subdirectory within directories A and B respectively that files were last transferred within. I.e., you're not still working in the same directory as you were when you initiated the transfer but rather a subdirectory thereof. As said, not a bug, but I would like to propose as a feature request that both the LHS and RHS working directories are remembered when a transfer is begun and restored to the active directories upon transfer completion. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge kasablanca (not affected here by any USE flags) 2. launch kasablanca normally (command-line or via KDE menu) 3. use kasablanca to transfer one or more folders (from outside the folder, not merely all the individual files within it, i.e. a folder will be created at the destination end). Actual Results: kasablanca remains in the last directories within which files were transferred. Expected Results: return to the point in the filesystem/directory tree where you were when you iniated the transfer.

Same as bug 102304, this is not Gentoo specific, so the best thing to do is to report it to the author of kasablanca.
