stupid KIOSLAVES!
by hannes hauswedell on Thursday 27/Jul/2006, @10:32

>> Fabio: Better networking and kioslaves management. Well... what's the difference between /media and media:/ ? Or what's the difference between /home/username and system:/home? For someone, only confusion, but that's my personal point of view.

THANKS FOR SAYING THAT!!!!

i really hate these absolute senseless kioslaves, too. they just make everything more complicated!
get rid of them, better now than later!

dont forget: theres not only system:/home theres also home:/ :@

Totally agreed! That particular sets of ioslaves was supposedly to increase usability, but I don't think it's any well considered thoughts behind the design. More like some random ideas that something like this would surely increase usability. Since it mask some of the underlying filesystem, and "everyone" knows that is not userfriendly. And as an improvement we get a inconsistent mess, and the concept creates lots of bugs in applications (Like k3b and lots of other apps, treating home:/ as a non local disk).

Hopfully the whole mess gets removed in KDE 4.

I like it very much. It is great. Please don't remove it.

I would like to know whether the distributor uses testing software such as
testlink.sf.net.

Agreed, it's a PITA.

I also agree - it is confusing rather than user-friendly

home:/ = system:/users

while

system:/home = home:/username = /home/username = system:/users/username
