Bug ID: 398446
Summary: Remote locations accessed with a KIO-using app are not
visible in a non-KDE file picker
Product: frameworks-kio
Version: git master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: fa...@kde.org
Reporter: n...@kde.org
CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
Let's say you use Dolphin to navigate to a Samba share, NFS location, FTP
server, or Google Drive. All is well so far. You use Dolphin to open a file
there in a non-KIO-using app like LibreOffice Writer, Inkscape, or Blender. All
is well. You change the file and save it. KIO displays a dialog asking you
whether you want to re-upload the changed file to the server, which is a bit
annoying (see Bug 398216), but it works.
There is a problem, though:
The non-KIO-using app's non-KDE file picker cannot see the remote location.
This means that you cannot use File > Open... to open new documents on the
remote location, nor can you use File > Save As... to save a copy of the
document to the remote location using.
There is probably nothing we can do about this short of secretly mounting the
remote location using FUSE like GNOME's GVFS does (See bug 75324) and exposing
the mount to the GNOME open/save dialogs, but I'm filing this bug anyway just
in case anyone can think of something clever we can do anyway.
