Opening a context menu in a Samba share

SUMMARY
I have kio-fuse installed (by tasksel on Debian), but network mounts (tested Samba) won't mount in the local filesystem.

Please see this thread where I explain with screenshots: https://discuss.kde.org/t/mount-network-folders-in-the-local-filesystem/39334

KDE developers told me that this is supposed to be working.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Dolphin, then look for Network in the Places sidebar.
2. Press the button Add Network Folder right next to the address bar. Fill in the Samba share details.
3. Check the mounted network folder; open a context menu anywhere in it and look for the action "Open Terminal Here".

OBSERVED RESULT
On the address bar, the Samba share is mounted as a "smb://" location; and Dolphin can't provide, for example, the action "Open Terminal Here" (which is only available on the local filesystem).

EXPECTED RESULT
Network folder mounted somewhere in the local filesystem.

Comment 1 Fabian Vogt 2025-09-02 13:42:27 UTC 
If you use kio-fuse built against Qt 5, you need kio-extras-kf5 as well. No idea how the debian package is called.

apt show kio-fuse

From the output of "apt show", kio-fuse depends on Qt6 libraries. I could not find the package you mentioned, only these two:

kio-extras/stable,now 4:25.04.3-1 amd64 [installed,automatic]
  Extra functionality for kioslaves

kio-extras-data/stable,now 4:25.04.3-1 all [installed,automatic]
  Extra functionality for kioslaves data files
Comment 3 Fabian Vogt 2025-09-02 14:04:06 UTC 
Ok, then this should work. Does the F4 command work? Anything relevant in the journal?

F4 shortcut

I did not know about the F4 shortcut. It actually works.

The embedded terminal changes its working directory to "/run/user/1000/kio-fuse-GmRQqs/smb/...", which is what I was expecting.

Now I just need to file a feature request for Dolphin to add an action "Open Terminal Here".

IMO a bug report is enough.

I wonder if it can be implemented efficiently though, as dolphin needs to query kio-fuse async whether the option can be shown.
