Description kgw 2009-01-12 00:03:58 UTC
Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

When trying to open a larger image file from a web page (http protocol) in for example the GIMP, the GIMP opens up before the transfer has finished and thus will render the image only partially. The call of the external application - which has no notion of the ongoing transfer - should be deferred until the file is completely stored locally and thus the external application can succeed in opening the file.
Comment 1 Dominik Tritscher 2009-06-20 12:32:18 UTC
Konqueror now passed the URI to GIMP. THerefore GIMP takes care of downloading the image on it's own. So this shouldn't be an issue any more.
Comment 2 kgw 2009-06-20 12:59:14 UTC
@Dominik, that might be ok for the GIMP (if the application is able to handle the download itself) but what about applications that are not able to manage the download themselves?
Comment 3 Dominik Tritscher 2009-06-20 13:12:42 UTC
The problem is, konqueror can't take care about ALL possible situations. At least for KDE applications it is not an issue thanks to KIO and GTK apps like Gnome seem to can cope with that too. If an application can't handle it, there is still the option to first save the file locally.
Comment 4 kgw 2009-06-20 13:22:47 UTC
Why can't konqueror simply take the old tried, tested and has been working approach of first saving locally and then calling the external application. This for me still is a regression as KDE3 konqueror did work in this area and now all over sudden the external application (or worse: the user) has to bother with it? This doesn't seem right.
