1. Having two konqueror windows open in 8.1: Copy file in one window doesn't make the paste option become available in the other window. This used to be so.
Yes, now this works quite well for me also opening up multiple Konq windows with Ctrl-N. I still don't understand the need to have multiple Konq windows up though with the "split" capabilities it has.

I agree, and even advocate using command line for such stuff. There are however exceptions, for example, when copying files from a CDROM: a single click will mount the disk and open it in Konqueror, and you can copy-paste files to another Konqueror window. Now, that's exactly how I used to do my copy-paste. Apparently, if I already have a running instance of Konqueror, when I click on CDROM icon, the window that opens is another window of the running instance, not a separate instance. So, copy-paste becomes possible between the CDROM window and the window that has already been opened. Somebody at KDE - or SuSE - has given it thought. In any case, if someone wants to have copy-paste enabled between any of Konqueror windows on their desktop, the desired command line switch must be somewhere around that cdrom icon. This switch can be used in other menu/panel entries calling Konqueror. Regards, Serguei
