Description Martin Kostolný 2016-02-21 13:12:55 UTC 
When copying files to the remote location over SMB, SFTP and others it is always used ".part" extension for the newly created currently copied file. I can see from kio-extras source code that "MarkPartial" property is actually loaded from ~.config/kioslaverc config file. I've also tested that when adding MarkPartial=false to this file it actually affect the transfer as needed.

But this configuration is not changeable through GUI. FTP has it's own MarkPartial property in ~/.config/kio_ftprc and it is configurable through System Settings -> Network: Settings -> Connection Preferences.

I think there should be a GUI option for the global MarkPartial property used for the rest of kio slaves e.g. in the same Connection Preferences in a new "Global Options" section.

Reproducible: Always




I have KF 5.19, Plasma 5.5.4, Qt 5.5.1, KDE Apps 15.12.2

This patch adds the config option to settings. Tested on sftp protocol.

"kio_ftprc" does not affect sftp-connections , only global-settings do .. it would be appreciated to have a "kio_sftprc" alongside with "kio_fishrc"
