Version: (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Hi, if I open a .tex file via the media:/ kioslave -- e.g. under media:/sda1 Kile won't properly invoke latex with it. latex will say: "file not found: /sda1/... " Well, the easy way to workaround would be to restrict the file open dialog to local paths... (I guess I could do this myself) Thanks for reading
That's correct, LaTeX cannot deal with kioslaves, that KDE specific technology. I remember something about a project that enabled kioslaves for all linux apps, but I forgot the name of the project. To use the files, mount the device and access it through the regular filesystem. best, Jeroen
Jeroen: kile must use mostLocalURL to retrieve the local file corresponding to media:/something. The bug is in kile.
How can I retrieve this URL? There is no mostLocalURL method in KURL. best, Jeroen
There is KFileItem::mostLocalURL(bool &local). I saw this in a backtrace :-)
Hmm, this is only defined in KDE 3.4 and Kile still has to work for KDE 3.2. This means I can fix it for KDE 3.4 but not for 3.3 and 3.2. best, Jeroen
See http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102668#c9 for how amaroK solved this problem. Kévin: do you have other suggestions? The commit amarok made hardcodes "media" (see link).
Hmmm, they could define KIO::UDS_LOCAL_PATH which is equal to "72 | UDS_STRING" (defined in kdelibs/kio/kio/global.h). Stating a file and search for the atom having this id number would be enough. It's definitely a workaround but would be far better than using DCOP for this. And it would work with other ioslaves using UDS_LOCAL_PATH.
Hi, any news on this topic? It is quite annoying that the kioslave-accessed files cannot be compiled... Editing and saving works fine, though. I can deal with it, but I think the more novice user won't be pleased. Thank you for your good work, Daniel
I have prepared a fix, but it sometimes locks Kile completely up. Some investigation is still needed.

Does this bug still apply to the kde4 version of kile?
Hi! I tested this with Kile 2.1 and KDE 4.8.3 (Debian), and I could not reproduce it. I thus think that this bug report can be closed. Thanks!
Thank you for the bug report. As this report hasn't seen any changes in 5 years or more, we ask if you can please confirm that the issue still persists. If this bug is no longer persisting or relevant please change the status to resolved.
