Bug ID: 448764
Summary: KDF should not rely on having Dolphin in runtime
Product: kdf
Version: 21.12.1
Platform: Compiled Sources
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org
Reporter: snehit...@protonmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
KDF currently relies on having Dolphin installed to be able to
open a disk in file explorer. The choice seems to be hardcoded
in source code
https://invent.kde.org/utilities/kdf/-/blob/master/src/stdoption.cpp#L16
A better way to open local paths might be to use
QUrl::fromLocalFile and pass it to QDesktopServices::openUrl
This will ensure that disk is opened in whichever file manager
is available on user's system, rather than assuming that
Dolphin is always available.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Install KDF on a system without Dolphin. In KDF, right click
on a disk and select "Open in File Manager".
OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens
EXPECTED RESULT
Disk should open in whichever file manager is available
on user's system.
