Alternatively, one could treat file://~/ (two slashes) as a "virtual host". That means URL like file://~/.. would not go up, but I do not envision any utility in such URL anyway. You can use { kioclient exec ~; } to open your home directory in your file manager.
Other folders also work { kioclient exec ~/documents; }
Does that fix this bug for you?

No, it is a workaround that an average customer is unlikely to follow. Konqueror is deprecated and Dolphin respects a tilde to mean home directory. (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #4) > Konqueror is deprecated and Dolphin respects a tilde to mean home directory. Actual result is no result now, which is still wrong. |
Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.6.0) OS: Linux The GNU bash manual [1] contains references to the user’s home directory in the form file://~/. Konqueror does not support that. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. { kioclient exec file:///~/; } Actual Results: 1. file:///~/ does not exist. Expected Results: 1. The home directory. OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.34.7-0.7-desktop Compiler: gcc Note that if you want to display a file and its name actually begins with a tilde, you can use the form file:///%7E/.
