Why would one not want way faster copying? The question here is that nothing in KIO's is orthogonal to being fast, so if "fast" is the feature you want, the solution is not to make the current solution replaceable, but to fix its performance. "Windows are OK with this" seems like a strawman though -- you can't fix it yourself in Windows, so the only way to achieve it is a drop-in replacement. This way of going about it is more often than not wrong in the Free software world, though. -- sebas http://www.kde.org | http://vizZzion.org | GPG Key ID: 9119 0EF9 >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
