Version: 0.9beta1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.4) Installed from: Slackware Packages OS: Linux It is not possible to use "Save As" from the digiKam image editor to save a picture trough the fish-protocol. I saw this bug http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104005 that was related to import from smb and fish, but I cannot write to fish. I haven't tested smb. On the remote machine I have the same username and I can browse trough the remote machine e.g my home folder and when I save it it get's written to my local home folder. The funny thing is that I browse to my remote machine and there I see not the file, but when I save it I get warning that I overwrite an existing file, the one on my local machine.
Just a short reminder. This bug still exists in the current SVN version towards digikam 0.9.1. "Save As" to fish:// from other KDE apps works fine.
I can can confirm this, too...
Supporting remote file systems in showfoto/image editor is another important stuff to do. Gilles
Looks like it is duplicate of Bug 154183 - that one is more about reading from fish:// but I think implementation would be immediately two-way, wouldn't it? Can I mark 154183 as duplicate?
Mik, No... It's not the same implementation (Editor vs CameraGUI) Gilles
Could this be solved by KioImportExport now? Or do we still plan to do this internally in digiKam?
At least it can be use for that purpose. But accepting fish directly in the save dialog looks more convenient. What's the reason why this is not working directly?
Johannes, The reason is simple : digiKam image editor always considerate that image is in local file system. There is no mechanism to handle remote file. I think this is true for digiKam image editor and must still as well... but, it just my viewpoint of course... This is not true for showfoto, which can already load remote file (trough KIO slave): http://lxr.kde.org/source/extragear/graphics/digikam/showfoto/showfoto.cpp#657 ...but not yet save to remote folder, because... code is simply missing (:=))) Gilles Technically, there is no problem to implement KIO slave support in save method from showfoto.

Sounds like I could have a look at this. ;) But not before this weekend
All image loaders (libjpeg, libpng, libtiff...) need a local file. What needs to be done to support remote URLs is downloading to a temp file before opening (showfoto only) and uploading after saving to a temp file is done (showfoto + imagewindow). KIO provides all that is needed.
