SUMMARY Enhance Dolphin to automatically convert Windows SMB paths to smb:// format when pasted into the address bar. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Copy a Windows SMB path (e.g., \\Server\Share\Path\to\file). 2. Open Dolphin and paste the copied path into the address bar. 3. Press Enter. OBSERVED RESULT Dolphin does not recognize the pasted Windows SMB path format and fails to navigate to the desired directory or file. EXPECTED RESULT Dolphin should automatically detect and convert the Windows SMB path format to the appropriate smb:// format (e.g., smb://Server/Share/Path/to/file) and navigate to the directory or file. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon 6.0 KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0 Qt Version: 6.7.0 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This feature would significantly enhance the interoperability between Windows and Linux environments, particularly in mixed-OS settings where paths are often shared between users on different systems. It would streamline workflows and reduce the manual conversion steps currently required.
It looks like this was implemented. Can you please re-test with the latest version of KDE Plasma & Dolphin? I confirmed that Dolphin is doing what you asked. I entered a path similar to \\host\path and pressed Enter The path changed in the location bar to smb://host/path Operating System: Solus 4.5 KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.1.0 Qt Version: 6.6.3 Dolphin version 24.0.2.2
You're right, it works like that now. I must have missed it, or Frameworks 6.1 was needed. Thanks:)
