SUMMARY Falkon lists "x-scheme-handler/ftp" in MimeType field of its desktop file, making it a handler for "ftp://" URLs. But it doesn't display FTP directories itself, uses KIO to find appropriate application, finds itself, enters an endless loop. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open "ftp://example.com" OBSERVED RESULT Falkon opens a new tab, which opens a new tab, and so on. EXPECTED RESULT Falkon either displays FTP directories, or opens another application (not itself). SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.6.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Hello Ana, It looks like Chrome/Chromium removed support for ftp links in version 95. Since Qt6 is based on a newer version I assume this support is gone, unless I am missing something. I will try to remove the default handling from Falkon to let the operating system handle this. Thank you for reporting. Best regards, Juraj
