Description mcas 2008-09-23 15:50:11 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

This bug was reported on the ubuntu bug tracker under
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase/+bug/42256

When using KFind, I click on browse next to the "Look In" box. Via this window I select Storage Media -> EXTHD which is a USB HD mounted at /media/sda1.

The select file window does not return "media:/sda1" but just "/sda1" so KFind can't find the location in the system unless I manually type in the file location.
The problem is reported with remote:/localserver -> /localserver, too.

The media:/ kio slave is gone in KDE4, so this bug is pretty much irrelevant now. (We shouldn't have forwarded it)
