           Summary: KRunner opens local filesystems URLs in Konqueror
                    instead of Dolphin or assigned application
           Product: krunner
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: panel-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: mail eliasprobst eu


Version:           SVN r817404 (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

If you enter a local URL (~/, /etc, /home/user, etc.) into krunner, it is opened using Konqueror instead of the application, which is assigned to directory/inode like Dolphin.

This was already mentioned in bug 51474 but the bug was opened and already closed for another reason, so this bug should be used now to track this issue.

Several bugs are 'waiting' for KToolInvocation::invokeFileManager(QString), which will be provided in KDE 4.2 as stated by 'aseigo' on #plasma:

01:42:37 < eliasp> aseigo: do you know, whether there are any plans to provide
                   KToolInvocation::invokeFileManager() as you wrote here:
                   http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151474#c2
01:43:09 < eliasp> could also be handy for bug 161384
01:43:36 < eliasp> and just discovered another one, where it might be handy...                 
                   entering ~/ or /etc or another local URL into krunner starts
                   konqueror...
01:44:25 < aseigo> eliasp: yeah, i plan on that in 4.2. i'm going to also add
                   an entry for that to the Default Applications control panel,
                   and then hook those two things together
01:45:03 < aseigo> eliasp: that's the main reason i haven't done the
                   KToolInvocation thing yet
01:45:39 < eliasp> aseigo: nice to hear... so this bugs shouldn't be solved yet
                   using a temporary workaround.. just wait, until kdelibs 
                   provides this in 4.2 ..
