Description gay 2019-02-28 23:56:48 UTC

SUMMARY
Unwanted password check when using kdiff3 on remote connection.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make a net connection to a remote system
2. Use Compare by Content (which invokes kdiff3) to compare a local and a remote 
file
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT For _every_ comparison, you are asked for password on remote system. This is very annoying! This bug occurs with Krusader 2.6.0. It does not occur with 2.4



EXPECTED RESULT

It's not related to Krusader. We just call kdiff3 with file paths as parameters every time you invoke this function. I think it's related to KDE4 -> KF5 migration and password caching. Moving to kdiff3 to check if they support this scenario.

Unfortunately from KDiff3's perspective this is not readily solvable. Each launch triggers a separate KIO job. KIO itself determines if and when a password will be needed. Passing to this on the the kio team. I believe this indeed is related to work done for kf5 but the changes are beyond the control of KDiff3.
