Version: 2.1.0 (using Devel) OS: Linux Cannot upload images directly from ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/icons/ to Yandex.Fotki (using Gwenview) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Open ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/icons/ in Gwenview, try uploading to Yandex.Fotki. Actual Results: Error message: "Failed to upload image\nDo you want to continue?" Expected Results: Image should be uploaded. This bug report probably also applies to other KIPI plugins.
The plugin can't upload non-local files. I think other plugins have the same issue. I think you can fix it :)
Hi Roman, We have a GSoC student (Shourya Singh Gupta) who works on factorization of export plugins for the KF5-based version of kipi-plugins. I hope there will be common code for pre- and post-processing so that we can add support for non-local files in this common pre-processing section, once and for all plugins. Gilles also told me that he would want kipi-plugins to depend on bare Qt5 mostly, with minimal dependency on KF5. In this case exporting from non-local files in kipi-plugins may be possible only when built against KF5::KIOCore. I'm not going to spend time on fixing this for kipi-plugins-4.x because I don't use uploading from non-local files that often.
