Description Viesturs Zarins 2009-08-30 12:54:08 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
OS:                MS Windows
Installed from:    MS Windows

When opening files on Windows, dolphin passes file URL with a leading backslash, like this: \C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\movie.avi

Some windows programs work fine this way, but many fail to understand the URL (windows media player and notepad for example).

Please remove the leading backslash from file URL when launching programs.

yeah, that is a QUrl::path() vs. QUrl::toLocalFile() issue.
@Peter: if you know where that path() call is, maybe you can directly change it to toLocalFile().

@Saro: KFileItem::run() is used by Dolphin (which internally uses KFileItem::targetUrl()). I've added David Faure to CC, I guess he knows how this can be fixed without sideeffects...

I failed to reproduce the reported problem with media player and notepad using KDE SC 4.7 on Windows XP.
