When I press Open after opening of a FTP file, it gives an erroneous message. $ XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE kate Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 0. Start Kate with XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE environment (I do it in Gnome). 1. Open a file on an FTP server. 2. Press Open again. Actual Results: Kate says "/XXX is a file, but a folder was expected." Expected Results: Should open the FTP folder in File Open dialog. Kate 15.08.2 run in Gnome with XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE environment variable.
I think commit 18e62e7 in plasma-integration fixed this. Does it still happen with plasma >= 5.6.1 ?
Works for me in the current plasma version.
