Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.0) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux When I open system:/, and then enter in home, if I select a file, I can't run a command via the menu "Tools". A dialogbox tells me that it is only possible in a local directory. Although I am in my home directory It occurs too with home:/ slave
What application? The application must call a special function to get a local path from the URL. Have a nice day!
The application in question is Konqueror. Confirmed for r477777.
I confirmed this also, it is reading all anything:/ style locations as "Remote". (Notice when you are on system:/ or anything:/ under the tools menu, select remote charset will be activated.
Confirmed for 3.5 (SuSE RPMs). If the general idea is to replace paths like "/home/$USER" with "system:/home" or system:/users etc. applications should be aware of this. I opened a 500MB AVI file (/home/jens/foo.avi) with Kaffeine, and promptly Konqueror started copying this file to a temp directory before having Kaffeine open it! This cannot be right. Jens
Maybe a duplicate of 117524 ?
the functionality is missing in recent kde 3 and kde 4 releases. as the related bug 117524 has beend marked as wontfix, so goes this.
*functionality only non-existant in KDE 4, leaving as WONTFIX after talking to the bug-squad squad.
