Re: KIO quanta leap

But, the problem is that most approachs to this involves a static selector. It would be far better to develop a plug-in approach so that

1) each kio would have a selector,
and
2) that new and better plug-ins could be developed.

Consider the case of the current approach to doing the selector. It is at best a physical approach to the problem. Instead, a set of plug-ins could be developed that allow more of a logical approach. In particular, the http/ftp might pull up info from Google; Perhaps allow the address book to serve as input in the selector as well so that a file could be sent to the end-user via whatever method that person wishes (fax, e-mail, IM, print && snail-mail, etc).

But the above paragraph was not mentioned for Eric's use; He already knows.

But Eric is correct. The KIO (and SHOULD include the selector) is by far the most under appreciated part of KDE.
