Description S. Burmeister 2006-02-24 19:26:20 UTC
Version:           0.8.1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.1)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

I select some pictures from within an album and drag them to another to move them there. I get the dialogue stating that the picture already exists. Yet the pictures are not shown, but instead there is the notice that they are not on a local-storag, which is wrong, as they are in my home-dir, which is on a local hdd.
Comment 1 S. Burmeister 2006-06-21 20:26:51 UTC
Can nobody confirm this?
Comment 2 Mikolaj Machowski 2006-06-22 16:21:37 UTC
Yes, it happens for me also.
Comment 3 caulier.gilles 2006-07-25 19:04:43 UTC
Yes, of course i can confirm this bug.

I suspect than camera picture download bug #126427 is the same problem.

After investiguations, the problem is relevant of KURL construct by digiKam and passed to KDE kio-slave to copy/move the pictures.

The KURL is given by PAlbum class and use "digikamalbum:/" protocol witch is unkown by KDE kio-slave. This is why the dialog cannot found the image to display.

Not yet tested, but if i force in digiKam to use "file:/" protocol with kurl passed to KDE kio-slave, all will work fine.

Marcel, i would have your viewpoint about "digikamalbum:/" protocol: 

- The error come from PAlbum class where a full compatible kurl method need to be added, especially for KDE kio-slave...

or

- The error come from kio-slave protocol installation witch is not properlly installed and reconized by KDE...

or 

- Something is missing in digikamalbum kio-slave to be compliant with KDE rules.

AlbumFolderView::contentsDropEvent will call DIO::copy with kioURLs.
DIO::copy will call KIO::copy.

KIO::copy will check if the dest exists, it does, so I think it is the KDE libs that will popup the overwrite dialog. Of course, it is unknown to KDE libs that digikamalbums:/ is actually a local file. Don't know how to change that.

Then, KDE libs will load the proper kioslave, and kio_digikamalbums::copy will get called. You have the debug statement from that method in your ~/.xsession-errors.

Then the copy method will somewhere return with KIO::ERR_ACCESS_DENIED, and the error message is sent to digikam.
So we have to fix the ioslave.

Or, some not-thought-through ideas:
- in albumfolderview, use normal file:/ URLs and afterwars do the same as in ImageWindow::saveAsIsComplete. Race-condition proof?
- use ForwardingSlaveBase for all file-related stuff in our ioslave - a pity, it's only available for KDE 3.4.

SVN commit 586141 by mwiesweg:

Provide the UDS_LOCAL_PATH entry.
Now the KDE replace file dialog will no longer think digikamalbums:/ is a remote file.

When I tested this, I got an error message, (#4), but now it seems to me this bug is only about the "not on local storage" message. This is fixed now, so I close this.

Reopening, see comment #7

Marcel,

Do you know a new issue for this file ?

Gilles
Comment 10 Marcel Wiesweg 2007-12-04 18:31:32 UTC
I have not tried it for KDE4, for KDE3, the situation did not change as far as I see...
Comment 11 caulier.gilles 2008-12-04 15:41:29 UTC
Marcel, 

What news with 0.10.0 ? It still valid ?

Gilles
Comment 12 Marcel Wiesweg 2008-12-04 23:41:20 UTC
Yes this is still valid. We can re-analyze if we have other means to fix this for KDE4 of course, I dont know currently.

Comment 14 Marcel Wiesweg 2008-12-11 19:08:11 UTC
I promote this bug to 0.10. We can see if we find a solution with KDE4, but it's difficult as the relevant dialog comes from kdelibs directly.

Comment 16 Andi Clemens 2009-07-02 22:43:00 UTC
Still not working (and maybe never will).
You get the "remote src" labels and when you click them, the thumbnail will appear.
Maybe we need to write a "real" slave for this, not only a wrapper, like here:
http://lxr.kde.org/source/KDE/kdebase/workspace/kcontrol/kfontinst/kio/KioFonts.h

But then again I don't know if you get the dialog (properly yes).

Comment 17 Andi Clemens 2009-07-02 22:54:39 UTC
Hmm but why is it even working when I click the label?
If this is possible, it should also be possible to display the thumbnail in the first place, right?

Andi
Comment 18 Marcel Wiesweg 2009-07-03 16:36:17 UTC
The problem is in the depth of KIO, where our requests are identified as "remote" because the protocol is unknown and no UDS_LOCAL_PATH is provided.

The ioslave is not needed as much as in autumn of 2006, the fix from #5 may in fact be applicable now again.
Should we dare it?
