meven added a comment.
I believe that's just fine but the comment could be updated : From udsentry.h /// A local file path if the ioslave display files sitting /// on the local filesystem (but in another hierarchy, e.g. settings:/ or remote:/) UDS_LOCAL_PATH So the `settings:/` , `remote:/` should return UDS_LOCAL_PATH for KIO::StatBasic, but file:/ should not . The code here uses UDS_LOCAL_PATH when present only and does not require it.
