Patrick, Not being a KDE or Konqueror user, I don't experience this (and Chromium, Firefox and Nautilus don't seem to have problems with the "file" protocol)
But there seem to be a number of open bug reports that are related to your issue:- https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=192632 - Protocol not supported file https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202288 - Konqueror has crashed browsing filesystem, It might be worth submitting a new report if you can't find your a problem close to yours. <https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=192632> Regards, Martin [email protected] On Tue, Oct 20, 2009 at 1:53 PM, elliott-brennan <[email protected]>wrote: > Erk!
