Description Marco Gusy 2009-07-03 12:50:29 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

One of the strong points of kde is kioslave file access (copy from a ftp to an ssh session, from an http to a ftp and so on).

Many application in kde tree still don't use kio for file read/write. I.e. kwalletmanager import/export, kdiff and so on.
I think an application which doesn't coherently integrate in kde should be updated or deleted from tree.

Comment 1 Pino Toscano 2009-07-03 12:59:09 UTC

If a KDE application does not use kioslaves, either
a) it is a bug
b) there could be reasons to not do it
If you think the case is a) for an application, report a bug for that application.

Blind removing is not helpful nor solves problems.
