Yup, we would need our own KIO-slave to use our keys. Don't worry
about that at the moment (let's have something working first) but
maybe we do it in the long term. Having our own KIO would give some
other improvements: for example, we could show a nice URL with the
device name instead of the IP, or we could add some easy to use links
to the most common places (inside the device there could be "Camera
pictures", "Downloads" and "Browser all the files" subdirs, and this
would be useful for people that doesn't know that pictures are stored
in "DCIM" because it is not intuitive at all).

In my network, both the phone and computer get two IPs, a IPv4 and a
IPv6. It seems that KUrl doesn't manage IPv6 correctly, or maybe there
is another problem... I will look into that now.

KIO will be tier 3. And yes, the big problem with KIO is that only
works in KDE apps... there are some plans to fix it, but AFAIK nobody
is working on it. Actually I personally don't care if you prefer to
use another library to mount the remote filesystem...
