Version: 2.0.1 (using 3.5.3, Kubuntu Package 4:3.5.3-0ubuntu0.2 dapper) Compiler: Target: x86_64-linux-gnu OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.15-27-desktop64-smp I can open a file in the KDE open dialogue for kile using the fish:// protocol to retrieve a file using ssh from a remote server. e.g., in the address bar I could type: fish://username@hostname/filepath/filname.tex and kile will happily open my file. However, when I try to compile it I get an error which says: [PDFLaTeX] Sorry, the file filepath/filename.tex does not exist. It would be brilliant if kile could work on files over ssh using fish://! Many thanks!

Hello, this is a latex/pdflatex limitation. Only KDE apps can handle files accessed with special protocols like fish. So I would close this bug report as WONTFIX as we can do nothing about it. Any objections? Thomas
I thought it might be the case that latex itself wouldn't be able to cope with the protocol. However, I was wondering whether it would be possible for kile to cache a local copy of the file and work on that? Maybe it's more of a feature request than a bug in this case? What do you think?
Yes, I think that was the plan. But it's definitely more of a long-term goal.
Ok, that's fine. Shall I put in a feature request or just leave things be? Many thanks, I'm currently using Kile to write my MPhil dissertation, so I feel indebted to all those who have put together such a good piece of software! Paul Weaver
