--- Comment #9 from Xavier Guerrin <xavier.kde at kindwolf.org> ---
I downloaded the latest nightly build of Kate for Win64, installed it and
launched it with QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=kde to get rid of the native Windows open
dialog.
Alas, this only switched Kate to the Qt open dialog as opposed to the KDE one.
My understanding is that the KDE open dialog is simply unsupported / not
available under Windows.
Please let me know if I am wrong.

Additionally, running kate.exe sftp://user@host/some/file/path resulted in the
following error message:
  Unable to create io-slave. Unknown protocol 'sftp'.
Again, let me know if I missed something (maybe I should have installed a
common package?).

Assuming I did not miss anything: well, needless to say, this is underwhelming:
7 years later, the KDE for Windows project still feels like a useless
portability proof-of-concept.

I change this report to "REPORTED"; I would advise to double-check the current
status of the "bring KIO/slaves to Windows" idea and adjust this report
accordingly (e.g. RESOLVED/INTENTIONAL).

Thanks for your time.
