--- Comment #5 from Mike Lothian <m...@fireburn.co.uk> --- (In reply to Nicolas Fella from comment #1) > This behavior is somewhat intentional, but of course not ideal. The > challenge is this: > When setting up a SMB share in Dolphin it will save the credentials so that > you don't have to enter them all the time. KDE apps/apps using KIO all can > read these credentials, so e.g. when opening an image on a SMB share in > Gwenview works without entering the credentials in Gwenview again. > > The problem arises with apps that don't use KIO but understand smb URLs, > like smplayer or VLC. Dolphin could directly pass the smb URL to smplayer, > but then smplayer would need to ask you for the share's password, which > isn't ideal. Therefore Dolphin triggers kioexec to download the file and > pass that to smplayer. However that's trading one issue for another :/ > > That said, there is a better alternative in place, KIOFuse. Instead of > downloading the whole thing an passing it as a local file like kioexec > KIOFuse exposes a virtual file system. This should solve both problems.

I've installed kio-fuse and things work again, any idea when this became a requirement? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
