Description John 2019-04-08 09:26:30 UTC

SUMMARY
On Linux (openSUSE Tumbleweed), with latest KDE Plasma, i tried to upload a file to - e.g.: send.firefox.com - from a network folder.

Actual results:

Falkon opens the kdialog to select the file, but the window does not allow the browse of remote folders.

Falkon is, apparently using the "kdialog --getopenfilename" command that only allows the browse of local files.

Expected results:

It should have opened a kdialog such as "kdialog --getopenurl" that would allow the browse and selection of files from remote folders.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20190403
KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.56.0
Qt Version: 5.12.2



ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Same thing goes for any other external storage (such as Pen Drives, for example) which are not browsable either.

It doesn't support KIO so this is actually expected. Even if it showed network folders, it wouldn't work anyway.

Is there any plans to support KIO, then?

It's a very annoying "detail"....... :(

Not like this, it would mean first downloading the file locally and then uploading it to the website, which as you can see is really not a good thing to do.

This will probably get fixed in Plasma 5.25 by means of the bug #444457.
