Description Dave 2021-04-22 14:27:08 UTC
In my system I have a samba share in my Dolphin places panel. It was created by dragging and dropping a remote folder on the places panel. The entry path looks like this:

smb://user@server/path/to/folder

I was configuring Dolphin and decided to check what feedback was being sent and I noticed this:

   "places": {
        "hasNfsShare": false,
        "hasSSHFSMount": false,
        "hasSambaShare": false
    },

Which seems to be incorrect. Please correct me if I'm wrong. It is important to note that I didn't find the remote folder creator assistant from the network folder I used to use in the past so I didn't use it to create the samba share shortcut.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Check Dolphin's user feedback raw data

OBSERVED RESULT
This data is sent
> "hasSambaShare": false


EXPECTED RESULT
This data should be sent
> "hasSambaShare": true

Mmmm. Will be a Dolphin-specific issue.

Well in fact smb://user@server/path/to/folder is not a samba share in the sense dolphin expects it here.

It is not a fs mounted cifs filesystem and that what `hasSambaShare` means currently.

smb:// is a kio-extras io-slave that is a lot easier to handle than cifs mounts, that why the two kinds of samba share access are differentiated in the feedback.

Is that actually what we want to measure though?

Elvis did this I doubt he meant otherwise.
If anything we could report which kio-slave are used.
