Hi,
I'm trying to import a folder from a smb:/ share, but when I click OK on the fileselection dialog, nothing happens.

Regards,
Edwin.

It's also happening when using the fish:/ or ftp:/ protocol
Comment 2 Tom Albers 2005-04-16 14:41:05 UTC
Hi Edwin, did you happen to look at the source?

status = "resolved", resolution = "fixed"?

I am still seeing this problem in Digikam 0.9.1.

My current workaround is to use to mount sshfs instead of fish:// or sftp:// but that shouldn't really be necessary for a native KDE app? (i have to do it anyway for OpenOffice).

Is it the Kioslave that doesn't support checking the existence of remote folders, or is that a digikam limitation?

I didn't test the fixing but I'd like to add a note.

-> status = "resolved", resolution = "fixed"?
That means it is solved in svn
 
-> I am still seeing this problem in Digikam 0.9.1.
That does mean that has not been backported in stable,
moreover it cannot be magically updated, digikam team has to
release a package 0.9.1.1 for instance with fixings. Or they can
decide to postpone such a fixing into the future 0.9.2.

Another way is to ask for that fixing to your distro maintainers,
they can backport the fixing into stable package.

Cheers,
	Angelo
