Description Fabian 2007-12-11 11:25:15 UTC
Version:           0.9.5 (using KDE KDE 3.96.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

When trying to open a man page in dolphin e.g. man:/nfs a list of all available man pages is displayed instead of the man page. After clicking on one of the man pages in the list, konqueror is started with an uri like man:/nfs/nfs.

I confirm this behaviour.
Comment 2 Stas Verberkt 2008-05-08 09:31:24 UTC
When using this slave in Konqueror it always produces nice html pages, as opposite to what it does in dolphin (I suppose because dolphin isn't a webbrowser), so I guess the wanted behaviour is to act as if a file was opened?
(When I enter the adress of a file in dolphin it gives an error, and doesn't open the file (unwanted behaviour?))
So there is a quick and dirty solution: no listing=Name in the protocol and it only works the html-way (and only in konqueror)
Or a more sophisticated solution: when used as file-listing always redirect to just man:/ (or only accept that URL)
Comment 3 Stas Verberkt 2008-05-09 00:00:33 UTC
I know it is possible to make the files in the directories symlink-like in the UDSEntryList for the listDir(), but is it also possible to make it open that page when opening a listed file? Then, we could let all listed files link to man:/name(section) and we have an elegant solution. I tried to get this behaviour by editing this part but haven't had the wanted behaviour yet...

Also this bug is a bug in the kioslave (kio_man) instead of dolphin...
