Thanks a lot for your answer.
Just noticed: The way you're starting the KIO slaves is the one
going through
DBus+klauncher. If that's actually intended, then you might need to patch
stuff in kinit.git -- so far everyone avoid DBus+klauncher on
Windows for good
reasons.
Yes, that's correct. We use DBus to communicate between the main
application and the rendering process. It seems to work, but I was not
aware of these KIO slaves issues.
Let me elaborate, there are two ways to start kio slaves:
a) KIO asks klauncher via DBus to launch KIO processes
b) KIO directly forks off KIO processes
(a) is chosen if an available DBus session is detected, (b) is the fallback.
To *always* use (b), you have two options:
- Make sure there's no DBus session (or dbus-daemon.exe available to start
one)
- Set the KDE_FORK_SLAVES env var [1], this is what we do in KDevelop:
https://cgit.kde.org/kdevelop.git/commit/?
id=4a2f1c2457e0104eb9a6135649d3ce4dda312904
(b) is the tested variant, which works fine for Kate/KDevelop/others...
Using KDE Frameworks 5.29, currently with no install (everything inside a
folder), and I can confirm that the KDE_FORK_SLAVES solution works.
However, now a new terminal window (cmd.exe) opens everytime kioslave is
called. Any idea haw to prevent that behavior ?
Thanks a lot for taking the time to answer me, we are now very close to
launch our Windows test version!

Yes, the installation path is compiled into the binary.
Though kio looks into two other paths since quite some time now:

Are you using an outdated KF5 version? Or are you installing KF5 into a
different prefix maybe? For the latter, you might need to
tweak qt.conf, as ...
