Description gay 2019-02-28 23:56:48 UTC 
SUMMARY
Unwanted password check when using kdiff3 on remote connection.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make a net connection to a remote system
2. Use Compare by Content (which invokes kdiff3) to compare a local and a remote 
file
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT For _every_ comparison, you are asked for password on remote system. This is very annoying! This bug occurs with Krusader 2.6.0. It does not occur with 2.4



EXPECTED RESULT


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
MacOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 
KDE Frameworks Version: 
Qt Version: 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

It's not related to Krusader. We just call kdiff3 with file paths as parameters every time you invoke this function. I think it's related to KDE4 -> KF5 migration and password caching. Moving to kdiff3 to check if they support this scenario.
Comment 2 michael 2020-07-24 21:23:10 UTC 
Unfortunately from KDiff3's perspective this is not readily solvable. Each launch triggers a separate KIO job. KIO itself determines if and when a password will be needed. Passing to this on the the kio team. I believe this indeed is related to work done for kf5 but the changes are beyond the control of KDiff3.
