They are plugins used by kio... any app using kio can potentially use them, even if the app isn't aware of that (e.g. think of the file open dialog). That being said I am not sure workspace is the right place for some of them. If anything most of them should probably go into frameworks though. I'd find it very odd if the file open dialog suddenly can't access sftp. There's only a handful that actually aren't that useful. > With > Plasma 5.2 about to go out shall I ask for kio-extras to be moved and > if so into which module? As bshah's link points out there are dependencies of workspace bits to very specific slaves so they would definitely need splitting if kio-extras were to move to an application scope. HS
