Description Olivier Vitrat 2007-03-06 15:02:53 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

This has been reported in Debian BTS at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=377236

The file loading will treat semantically-identical but string-differing 
paths as unique files. For example:
	/path/to/file
	/path/to//file
are treated as two different files, even though they really aren't.

This causes problems when using the internal file-searching tool when 
the "Folder" entry contains a trailing slash. The file-opening code 
should probably trim out unnecessary path elements before checking that 
the file isn't already open.

This happens for me too, typically when I use the grep tool and have a / at the end of the search directory. We should clean up the URL when opening a file.

There is KUrl::cleanPath, the option SimplifyDirSeparators should fix this issue.
Comment 4 Joseph Wenninger 2008-11-29 16:34:04 UTC 
Fixed in r890601 by using cleanPath in openUrl and findDocument.

I'm thinking about resolving links f
Comment 5 Joseph Wenninger 2008-11-29 16:35:47 UTC 
Fixed in r890601 by using cleanPath in openUrl and findDocument.

I'm thinking about resolving links for local files too in future.
