What I used to do about all this is to turn every '/' into a unicode fraction slash (so that it still looks like a '/' to the user, but can be used in a filename), and name the link with the full URL like "ftp://www.somehost.com/foo/bar/". See KIO::encodeFileName (and copyjob.cpp:813, i.e. if you use KIO::link() this happens automatically in KIO). But maybe that's because I like URLs :-) REPOSITORY R120 Plasma Workspace REVISION DETAIL https://phabricator.kde.org/D4157 EMAIL PREFERENCES https://phabricator.kde.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/ To: broulik, #plasma, mart, dfaure Cc: plasma-devel, lesliezhai, ali-mohamed, jensreuterberg, abetts, sebas
