Can't place folder icons on desktop where I want

[benit]

I just want to drag a folder and link it on the desktop, but on the location I drag it to. Currently I can adjust "rows" and "colums", but the icons are forced to order along that virtual properties.

I would like to be able to drag an icon where I want it. Some underlying grid that it snaps to is fine of course, but I don't like that all icons are forced into a certain order.

   

Thank you very much in advance for helping!

This is indeed not possible currently. There might be even a feature request for it on bugs.kde.org already. Take a look there and vote for it if you need it.
