Bug ID: 388244
Summary: Network files opened remotely via GVFS
Product: krusader
Version: 2.6.0
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: net-connection
Assignee: m...@fork.pl
Reporter: rafael.linux.u...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
To modify remote files (via ftp, fish or samba access) is a headhache in Linux.
Is not only Krusader who is affected, is a general compatibility issue between
linux desktop environments. An example will clarify:
Any file opened FROM a QT libraries based file manager (Krusader, Dolphin) is
opened using KIO, so if the application that open the file opened IN is not QT
based too (Atom editor, Gwenview, etc), the file is copied locally to
"~/.cache/kioexec". So, when user save it, the file is not saved to the remote
connection really. Only when user close the application, user is asked about to
overwrite the file (to the remote folder). Is really a headache to work in this
non-realtime way.
However, if a remote file is open FROM any GTK libraries based file manager
(Nautilus, Caja, ...), KIO is not used, but GVFS, indistinctly if the file is
opened IN a QT or GTK based application. That way, the user not need to exit
from the file editor each time he save changes to the file.
Please, is there any way to force krusader to call gvfs (like Nautilus or Caja)
ALWAYS to avoid this great issue?
Tnank you
