Version: Unbekannt (using KDE 3.3.0, Gentoo) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.4 20040623 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.4-r1, ssp-3.3.2-2, pie-8.7.6) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.8.1 When clicking on links to devices (e.g. a Windows partition, DVD-ROM) in the file open/save dialog, those links should be treated as links and not as simple files (like .desktop files in this example). On the Desktop such a link would mount the device, and open a new Konqueror window. In the file open/save dialog, the device should be mounted and its contents be displayed in the dialog. I know there is a shortcut named "devices" in the file open/save dialog. Yet not every person new to KDE / computers may think about using that.
Moving from "kio/kfile" component to "kfile" product, helps sorting out duplicates.
In KDE Frameworks 5, the "create link to device" functionality itself is in a bad state: the .desktop file it creates gets opened in Kate, not the file browser, and the original issue is still present :/ I've seen zero bugs about this before, so I have to wonder how heavily used this functionality is...
