Description g111 2009-05-31 12:37:57 UTC
Version:           KDE 4.2.88 (KDE 4.3 >= 20090527) (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

konqueror and dolphin are not able to open a directory called /F:

* mkdir /F: (important: below root "/")
* touch /F\:/foo
* Start konqueror or dolphin and try to enter /F:

=> Both apps cannot handle this directory. "The file or folder F: does not exist" is displayed as error message. 

Maybe /F: ist interpreted as kio-protocol name?

Creating a directory "F:" in your home directory does not make any problems.

This bug still exists in KDE 4.3.1.
Comment 2 Jeffery MacEachern 2010-12-20 13:25:50 UTC
Confirmed in 4.6 trunk from about a week ago.
I think this may be related to how Qt handles paths on Windows, but I have yet to verify that.
Comment 3 Dawit Alemayehu 2011-07-10 15:15:19 UTC
This is caused by an upstream bug in QUrl::toLocalFile. Opened a ticket there to get the issue addressed. See http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-20322.

Handle top level directories with a ':' in their names, e.g. /F:, correctly on
non-Windows platforms.
