Version: (using KDE 4.1.0) Compiler: cc-Version 4.3.0 20080428 (Red Hat 4.3.0-8) OS: Linux Installed from: Fedora RPMs When using kfind from within KIO eg. hitting ctrl-f inside dolphin when in sftp:// or smb:// or ksvn:// or whatever KIO protocols it fails due a call to KIO::get. It seems to be a KIO problem 'cause: 1. open a terminal 2. call "kfind sftp://<host>/<path>" seems to work (eg. found something on kio-based path) but when calling it like dolphin/konqueror does: "/usr/libexec/kde4/kioexec kfind sftp://<host>/<path>" an error appers after showing a download bar "<target> is a folder but file expected" or similiar. I think KIO tries to download it like it would do for kate or gwenview or whatever works with a files but with kfile it makes no sense - KIO should check if target is a folder and descide what to do. yours
I can't reproduce this bug using: Qt: 4.4.3 KDE: 4.1.85 (KDE 4.1.85 (KDE 4.2 Beta2)) kdelibs svn rev. 898705 / kdebase svn rev. 898705 on ArchLinux x86_64 - Kernel 2.6.27.8 While in Dolphin browsing a ftp site, pressing CTRL+F opens KFind inmmediatly with the "Look in" field set to the ftp site. I can't find the kioexec binary in my KDE4 installation (only in the KDE3 installation)
I've fixed this in 897114. Let me backport this to 4.1.x branch. Ctrl+F when in trash:/ (or any other remote protocol) said "malformed url" because KRun tried to download to a temp file via kioexec. %u tells it not to do that. Darío: kioexec is in lib/kde4/libexec/kioexec, which is not in $PATH. But it shouldn't be used in this case of course.
