D23384: [WIP] Adding support for mounting KIOFuse URLs for applications that don't use KIO

[David Faure]

dfaure added a comment.


  @ngraham AFAIK gnome has a trick where a fuse mount is created, its path is passed to the application being started, and the application, if it supports gvfs, re-translates that into a URL and uses that instead if it makes more sense. This way "dumb" apps get a local file (with all the limitations of doing synchronous I/O over the network) and network-transparent applications use URLs.
  On the other hand, the KDE logic is "if the app takes %f and not %u in the Exec line, it doesn't support remote URLs, so we need to download the file first" (that's done by kioexec). If you see a "download first" check if kioexec is running. But if it's the app doing it, then I have no idea.
