Description vasosergiou 2018-06-22 12:09:00 UTC

Hi, I've used KDE for a very long time, and whilst I have heard people talk of KIO slaves, I have not made a point of finding anything out about them.

Recently I discovered that the address bar has a list of these kio slaves, ONLY if you have an editable and empty address bar and select something from the dropdown menu to the left.

My request is, could it be made clearer that there is this resource available in Dolphin. Perhaps as an additional panel or made more obvious that this list exists?

I think many people would find this useful.

I don't think this is a duplicate of bug 329292.

I'm asking for a better more obvious way of illustrating that there are other protocols available for use. I only found it myself by accident.

Bug 329292 is talking about scrolling through that list whilst you're in an empty location bar. It already assumes you have knowledge of that list in the first place. I'm asking about making it more obvious there is in fact a list to be able to scroll through or pick from.

Ah, you're right.
