If for example I want to use fish:// for my desktop folderview, I'd have to install something from applications. That's what I meant. > I strongly believe kio-extras should be in applications. I have no strong preference, was just wondering how it makes the situation better. (Ok, maybe the example I gave is very power-usery, so it may indeed be more widely used by apps, but it's not really an apps-specific thing, more something like a runtime extension for possibly everything.) > I am not opposed to having it in frameworks if that's the consensus, but I > find it arguable.

Surely it does, as soon as an app developer wants to integrate a specific protocol for their app (and not just "any" protocol, like KIO), then this would be needed. I imagine getting something from a webdav server, or storing a file on a specific backup service.) Don't count this as veto, just food for thought, please. -- sebas http://www.kde.org | http://vizZzion.org | GPG Key ID: 9119 0EF9 _______________________________________________ release-team mailing list release-team@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team
