Hi all,
I'm trying do develop a small kio protocol, which can list all recent document 
from KRecentDocument. And I'd like via this kio, recent document can be 
edited, upload, or some else directly.
(code is here, not complete yet 
http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=scratch%2Fxuetianweng%2Fkio_recentdocument.git&a=summary
 
)

So I try to use KDesktopFile to get the real url, and fill the UDS Entry with 
UDS_LOCAL_PATH and UDS_TARGET_URL. But finally stuck here. I found that from 
dolphin, the file can be correct opened with "Target Url". But if I try to 
open anyfile in other program, such as kwrite, it seems that they open it with 
the recentdocument:/ url.

This is also happened in desktop protocol. If I want to open a file, such as 
desktop:/a.txt, kwrite will get the file, but with url desktop:/a.txt, this 
also makes kwrite "Save" behaviour incorrect (It can save, but the "modified 
file" sign is not removed). So I would just stop here... I can also think of 
that other KDE application's behaviour will be similar to kwrite. So, if kio 
can find a file to be a "local file", should applications themselves take care 
of this if they prefer local file.

Actually all my initial intention is to make openSUSE patched firefox can use 
my little kio to upload files, I can patch the kmozillahelper to fix it, but I 
wonder this is correct or not. Since there is still some problem, like if a 
nepomuksearch is used in kwrite, kwrite still use the nepomuksearch url, 
instead of the target url.

After some investigation, I found the behaviour is different from program to 
program, and from protocol to protocol, shoud there be standard, that how 
shoud target url and local path be used. This two concepts really makes me 
confused.... what will happen if local path and target url point to different 
local files? I cannot imagine.

The best solution currently I can think of is, if file is local, 
UDS_LOCAL_PATH should be set, no matter whether UDS_TARGET_URL is set or not, 
seems kde file dialog in qt app can resolve this to local file (Since 
mostLocalUrl in KFileItem only take UDS_LOCAL_PATH and real path into 
account). For kde application, if they must use a local path instead of kio 
they should resolve it themselves. Is this correct?

And for nepomuksearch.. is there a bug that vlc will complain "only local 
path" in nepomuksearch (this is not happened in desktop:/ or my own little 
recentdocuemnt:/ ).
