Bug ID: 485731
Summary: Auto-Convert Windows SMB paths to smb:// format
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version: 24.02.2
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: bars: location
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: till.seif...@spamfence.net
CC: kfm-de...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Enhance Dolphin to automatically convert Windows SMB paths to smb:// format
when pasted into the address bar.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Copy a Windows SMB path (e.g., \\Server\Share\Path\to\file).
2. Open Dolphin and paste the copied path into the address bar.
3. Press Enter.
OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin does not recognize the pasted Windows SMB path format and fails to
navigate to the desired directory or file.
EXPECTED RESULT
Dolphin should automatically detect and convert the Windows SMB path format to
the appropriate smb:// format (e.g., smb://Server/Share/Path/to/file) and
navigate to the directory or file.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: KDE neon 6.0
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0
Qt Version: 6.7.0
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This feature would significantly enhance the interoperability between Windows
and Linux environments, particularly in mixed-OS settings where paths are often
shared between users on different systems. It would streamline workflows and
reduce the manual conversion steps currently required.
