Either by protocol (say, "sftp://";) or by program (like > "only local filesystem possible")? When KDE needs to "start" a file, it checks the file associations. If the file assocation's command, usually the "Exec" line of the application's ".desktop" file, contains %u or %U, KDE assumes that the application will handle the URL itself. If it does not or if it contains %f or %F, it will download the file to a temporary location before starting the application. > Please keep me CCed, I'm already on too many lists :-) This list is also available through the gmane.org usenet gateway http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.general Cheers, Kevin -- Kevin Krammer, KDE developer, xdg-utils developer KDE user support, developer mentoring
