Trying to open a file on a remote location on windows, such as \\server\some\file.txt fails and Kate says "Cannot open file /server/some/file.txt as it cannot be read. Make sure you have permissions" Browsing said location works fine in the Open dialog (Windows' native file dialog) as well as Dolphin (which correctly uses smb://server/some/file.txt) but Kate seems to not understand the URL and tries to open a local location that doesn't exist Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to a remote SMB location \\server\some\file.txt 2. Open this file in Kate (can also be reproduced by using the Open dialog in Kate and browsing to the file from there) 3. Actual Results: It cannot open the document as it tries to access /server/some/file.txt instead of smb://server/some/file.txt Expected Results: It opens the file properly using the smb KIO like Dolphin does correctly.
Hi Kai, does this happens with kwrite too?
Will try once I'm back in the office on January 7, stay tuned.
=> Please try with current https://kate-editor.org/get-it/ versions. If that still happens, this needs to reported to KIO, as we just use the generic KIO stuff from KParts.
