Bug ID: 490966
Summary: kde-open fails to open relative paths outside of the
current working directory's children
Classification: Plasma
Product: kde-cli-tools
Version: 6.1.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: aleix...@kde.org
Reporter: devillelethiba...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When I'm using the terminal to navigate between LaTeX files (opened in a TUI
program) and the output PDF (opened in Okular/firefox), I'm using the
`xdg-open` command a lot. However it (and the `kde-open` command it calls
underneath) do not accept relative paths that go outside of the current working
directory's direct children, no matter the depth.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a terminal, and navigate to any directory, let's say `~/Documents`.
2. Invoke `kde-open .` (or `xdg-open`, it should give the same result). It
should open Dolphin/your filesystem browser without issues.
3. Invoke `kde-open ../foo` where foo is any directory under `~` . It should
prompt an error message stating the unit is not configured properly and the
operation is not permitted.
OBSERVED RESULT
Whenever supplying an "invalid" URI/path, it outputs a message with the
following template:
```
kf.kio.gui: Failed to launch process as service:
"app-org.kde.dolphin@<hash>.service" "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied"
"Unit app-org.kde.dolphin@<hash>.service failed to load properly, please
adjust/correct and reload service manager: Operation not permitted"
Unit app-org.kde.dolphin@<hash>.service failed to load properly, please
adjust/correct and reload service manager: Operation not permitted
```
EXPECTED RESULT
It should open the file/directory without issues.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- It works perfectly fine if the command `gio open
../problematic/relative/path` is used instead of `[xdg|kde]-open` !
- The workflow defined above worked just fine a few weeks ago. I'm not able to
pinpoint it more specifically than that, sorry.
- The commands perform as expected if an absolute path to the "problematic"
paths are used instead.
- Since it is mentioned nowhere on the system info, I'm running the KDE spin of
Fedora, and the "full" version information of the `kde-cli-tools` package is
`6.1.3-2.fc40`.
