Hi, I'm new to the arch linux.
I've installed arch and vmware workstation pro according to wiki doc, used yay -S vmware-workstation
everything works fine until I tried to drag and drop (and copy and paste) a file from guest OS (windows 10) to the host (arch linux KDE plasma).
I can do this without a problem from arch to guest os. but not in reverse direction.
everytime I try drag and drop, there's nothing happens, no error msg even. but if I use copy and paste to a folder under dolphin, I got following error msg: the file or folder/GRgTKr/Firefox setup 85.0.exe does not exist
And I can see actually the file was stored under /home/user/.cache/vmware/drag_and_drop/GRgTKr/. it just can not paste to my pointed destination. but if I copy a piece text like a command, I can successfully paste it in a terminal windows on the host.
every time I repeat the scene the system log shows below info:
2/22/21 4:11 PM dolphin kf.kio.core: Invalid URL: QUrl("x-special/nautilus-clipboard")
2/22/21 4:11 PM dolphin kf.kio.core: Invalid URL: QUrl("copy")
2/22/21 4:11 PM dolphin "The file or folder /GRgTKr/Firefox Setup 85.0.exe does not exist."
don't know if this is help or not.
I've searched a lot, but no lucky.
Could anyone help me out of this?
thanks,

Here's a quick update, it's very weired, I created a new guest OS (win 10 pro), from both guest OS, I can't drag and drop files to arch host, but I can copy and paste a file (a word document), when I try copy and paste a exe file or a zip file, when I switch back to dolphin on arch host, right click on any folder I want to paste to, it became paste 3 itesm( should be "paste one file"), and when I select it, got that error msg again.
anyone knows what the hell is going on?
