Description Will Keaney 2014-02-06 19:34:11 UTC 
Kate version 4.10.2, mingw64 build on Windows 7 x64.
Opening files on CIFS shares in an Active Directory environment.

I'm able to open the files if I first map the share to a local drive letter, and open them from that path instead of the direct UNC path.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Kate
2. Click 'Open File', or any other method to get the file open dialogue
3. Browse to a file on a remote path (\\<server>\path\to\file)

Actual Results:  
Kate browses to the file's location successfully, but throws this error when trying to open the file:

The file /<server>/<share>/<directory>/<directory>/<file> could not 
be loaded, as it was not possible to read from it.
Check if you have read access to this file.

Expected Results:  
Kate should open the file.

=> 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.
