Description AK-47 2020-10-10 23:32:10 UTC

One major setback/oversight for Dolphin is the inability to manually disconnect remote folders in the "Network" page.
This means that you better hope that nothing is being done on the files before disconnecting from the network or shutting the machine or remote server down.

This is a good way to end up corrupting files on the remote end. You can DELETE the shortcut, but that won't solve the issue, there needs to be a menu option to disconnect/unmount the remote location without deleting it, so that it can be accessed easily through the "Network" page again.

It is also not possible to easily determine which remote folders are connected and which are not, without going into them (and therefore connecting to them anyway).

Is this ticket about remote locations accessed via KIO, or do you (manually) mount remote locations, e.g. with fuse?

Comment 2 AK-47 2020-11-28 23:53:51 UTC

This is about remote locations accessed via KIO I presume, since I'm not mounting them with anything other than Dolphin.

Comment 3 Nate Graham 2020-11-28 23:58:23 UTC

Locations accessed with KIO are not actually mounted at all; individual URLs are accessed only as needed. KIO-FUSE mounts them, but that's a hidden thing that happens in the background and only affects  3rd-party apps that don't use KIO.

Can you rephrase the bug in terms of what exact problem you're having? Steps to reproduce would be helpful.
