Description anton 2011-09-13 13:53:16 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.1) 
OS:                Linux

I have .ovpn config file for openvpn - I can use it to connect to vpn with openvpn like this:

> sudo /usr/sbin/openvpn client.ovpn

I want to be able to import this file to knetworkmanager plasmoid. Open "manage connections->VPN", press Import button - it would show

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
-Open "manage connections->VPN"

- press Import button - it would show file dialog

Actual Results:  
the dialog would show file filter with only *.pcf value

Expected Results:  
the dialog should show file filter also for *.ovpn files

If change file extension from .ovpn to .pcf and try to import it this existing importer, this will not work.

I was trying to google around with keywords like "import", "ovpn" and "networkmanager" and it seems that gnome version of network manager applet does allow importing .ovpn config files.

You are using an old version that does not support .ovpn files yet. Please upgrade to a snapshot newer than July 25, which is the date when the .ovpn importing was implemented.

By the way, the OpenVPN configuration import is implemented in branch nm09 only.
