It looks like the only non-core ioslave to implement this is sftp (unless there's one lurking outside kio-extras, formerly kde-runtime, that implements it). My only concern would be what happens if the app sets the new metadata, and the slave only reads the old metadata. Would that ever result in corrupted data (eg: [segment1][segment1][segment2] instead of [segment1][segment2]), or would it just result in extra network traffic? - Alex ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail.
