Bug ID: 523885

'Move To' locations that are no longer available

DESCRIPTION
Dolphin's 'Copy To' and 'Move To' commands are very useful, allowing users to
copy or move items to frequently used locations with a single click.
They are automatically stored under a section below the default 'Home Folder',
'Root Folder' and 'Browse...' in the sub-menus when the user selects a location
via 'Browse...', and these are written to `~/.config/dolphinrc` under the
headings '[kuick-copy]' and '[kuick-move]'.
But it seems there's room for some improvement here:
Firstly, locations selected by users in either temporarily mounted disk
partitions or various removable (e.g. USB) media etc. usually become unwanted
leftovers in the list there.
Secondly, this list can become overcrowded in time when users select many
different location via 'Browse...'
Dolphin should perhaps check availability of the locations listed under the
headings '[kuick-copy]' and '[kuick-move]' in `~/.config/dolphinrc` maybe every
time it starts, if not periodically, to clear those locations that are no
longer available.
There might also be an option to edit the list in the sub-menu of 'Copy To'
and 'Move To' commands, enabling users to remove, add and perhaps even pin
items.
