Description Marco Mentasti 2010-04-16 14:28:37 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.4.1)
OS:                MS Windows
Installed from:    MS Windows

opening saved sessions from Kate, it throw the error "The file protocol was died unexpectedly".
Analyzing kate session file, the urls are malformed. It store "file://C:/ ..." instead of "file:///C:/ ...", and kate is unable to find saved files.
Same problem with Kompare. I have configured TortoiseSVN to show diffs with it, passing urls as arguments, and kompare is unable to find files.

Seems to be a problem of KUrl implementation.

I'm using WindowsXP, with KDE 4.4.1 installed from kdewin-installer-gui (binary package).

invalid url example

restoring saved sessions from kate, a lot of "Copy" windows appear (one for each stored file). The source url does not have a colon for the C: drive.

This has been fixed long ago.
