linux server

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. click on "Network" in places panel and open "Shared Folders (SMB)"
2. double click on any linux/windows samba server
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
When Samba server is a Linux machine, title bar shows "server-name.local" and breadcrumb shows "smb: server-name.local".
When Samba server is a Windows machine, title bar shows
"server-name.kio-discovery-wsd".
See the attached screenshots please.

EXPECTED RESULT
Title bar and breadcrumb should always show "server-name" and "smb: server-name" respectively.

What does "server-name" mean exactly? As far as I know SMB servers have no names, they have addressable hostnames in the form you see.

The hostname.
In my screenshots, Arch-PC and WIN7-PC.

Right, but then this isn't really about SMB specifically but rather that you want dolphin to infer a pretty name from the fully qualified domain name. The current behaviour is the same for sftp/smb/ftp so changing it, I would think, equally applies to all remote protocols.
