            Bug ID: 487888
           Summary: Kompare doesn't load files from kio connection in
                    dolphin
    Classification: Applications
           Product: kompare
           Version: 4.1.24022
          Platform: unspecified
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kompare-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: lst_manage at webengineer.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
When using fish:// to connect to a remote file system in dolphin, selecting two
files, then using context menu to "Compare files", kompare opens but no files
are loaded to compare.

It works as exepected when on a local file system.  Also clicking on a file and
oopening with kwrite, the file is loaded in kwrite and if changed saving that
loaded file changes the file on the remote host.  So KIO seems to be working
correctly.

Note that comparing remote files worked before the upgrade to KDE 6 (Fedora
39).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Open Dolphin
2.  Enter fish://remote_host/etc in location bar
3.  Select two files
4.  Select "compare files" from context menu

OBSERVED RESULT
Kompare opens but both panels are empty.  I assume that is because the two
files selected were not loaded from the remote host.

EXPECTED RESULT
Kompare should open the two selected files from the remote host.
