Bug ID: 119429
Summary: implement native KIO support to avoid potential data
loss when using Dolphin file browser in SMB shares to
open documents
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.1.0.3 release
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: framework
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Browse an SMB share with KDE Plasma's recommended Dolphin file explorer and
with it, open a document file in e.g. LibreOffice Writer.
The file gets opened correctly and it looks like it can be edited.
However, saving the edited file at the network location fails because
LibreOffice uses Gnome's GIO, despite of running inside a KDE Plasma session.
This is especially nasty because the saving fails silently. The program makes
the user think that the file was successfully saved, but when reopening the
document, all the changes are lost.
This could be solved by adding native KIO support into LibreOffice.
See this ticket on KDE bugtracker:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=397742
The KDE filepicker that comes with gtk3_kde5 VCL allows to successfully edit
documents on SMB shares, but it doesn't help when opening the document out of
Dolphin.
Thanks!
