           Summary: noatun using sftp slave copies files to ~

I am using the sftp kioslave with noatun to play files on my laptop from a file server on a lan.  Browsing through the tree in the "Open..." window works well; but once I select the files, my laptop does not play them.  (It feels as if the files are all 0 bytes or such.)  At this time, my laptop transfers all of the files in my playlist to $HOME.  Only after a song has finished transferring will noatun play it, presumably as a local file, because a copy now lives as ~/song1.ogg, ~/song2.ogg, ....  I'm worried that one day instead of typing "cd; rm Artist-Disc-*" I'll type "rm Artist-Disc- *" -- a big difference.  If I run noatun from the shell in /tmp, the files still go to my home.

I am not 100% sure this is a noatun problem; but I do not think the sftp slave is doing this, because I do not see the same behavior, when e.g. viewing a pdf on the same server with konqueror.
