[Bug 427283] Re: [kubuntu] Documents on the SMB share not copied from temp after the editing

[Oded Arbel]

I understand that in GNOME when you use %F in the desktop file, GNOME
passes the path of the file under the gvfs fuse mount point (what
happens when gvfs-fuse is not installed?).

In KDE, when %F is used, then KDE copies the file from KIO to a temporary directory and passes the temporary path back. Supposedly (or at least it was implemented once), if you save to the temporary file and close the application, then KDE will copy the file back to the original location using KIO. This might work for simple editing jobs, but fails when you create a new document, then want to save it to the remove folder - here is the use case:
1. User wants to create a new document to be shared with co-workers.
2. User opens OpenOffice.org writer and writes a document.
3. User chooses "Save" from the "File" menu.
4. In the "Save File" dialog, user navigates to the remote folder, type in a file name and press "Save"

The result should be that the file is saved correctly to the remote
folder. This works well under GNOME (does OpenOffice.org saves the file
to the local gvfs fuse mount in this case? I don't see how it can), but
fails under KDE.

That is the use case of the problem detailed in bug #509024. If this bug
is not about that, then bug #509024 should be undupped.
