It's ok but fails to generate a backup when files in this location are changed. It will save there and read from there and click launch from files on there. Amarok will play an mp3 via a click launch on a file on a server. Add such a file to a play list and it can't cope. Also it can not load a file from the server. LibreOffice much the same as amarok. PDF's click launch. RPM's - open with yast do open yast but some how skip root login. Basically file management at the app level is a mess. Files can be anywhere these days. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Put a file on a network server/save a file to a network folder/launch it 2.Work with it as indicated in details 3. Actual Results: As per details Expected Results: These things should function correctly as files being work on or used by users may be anywhere other than on the local disc. The error message that is sometime generated "can only select local files" is generated by one of several k?????.so files. From kwrite it can be seen that the paths do work so why is it interfering. Reads from the server do not generate error messages when there is a problem so some apps state can't open file. I initially connect to the server via dolphin and later tried samba. Same results. Samba however is much much slower especially when the 1st connection is made. VLC is kitted out to work this way but doesn't even though it's dot desktop file does contain the correct incantations. Kaffeine generates and error message - missing input plugin. Odd as I can find not trace of such a plugin. Only one for browsers. I'm rating this as critical as it really should be fixed. It indicates something beings seriously wrong with app level file management. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
