Description Jochen Herrmann 2013-10-21 08:15:18 UTC
We keep all our LibreOffice documents in a shared subdir on a NAS HD. The NAS HD is driven on the network via a Fritz!Box 7390 (www.avm.de) This works well with all our Windows XP and 7 PC's. As we don't want to follow the MS path to Windwos 8 we decided to use OpenSuse 12.3 with KDE instead. 

But whenever we try to open with the Linux version of Libreoffice any kind of file on the NAS drive (over the network) we get the message "You are only allowed to access local files"

But if I select the file via Dolphin, I can open the file in Libreoffice without any problem. But this is, on the long run, an unacceptable procedure.

I found on the internet information that said that Libreoffice does not support so called  KIO slaves, which I was told is necessary with KDE !?!?!

If you need more information, please send me an email. I can give you my skype name and/or telephone number. 

TIA, Joe Herrmann
Operating System: openSUSE
Version: 4.1.2.3 release

Confirmed using 4.1.2.3 under Ubuntu 13.10 (64-bit). Currently KDE integration module doesn't support opening\saving via KIO, so it's an enhancement request.

The workaround is: Go to Tools->Options...->General, and activate 'Use LibreOffice dialogs' under 'Open/Save dialogs'.

I tried the work around proposed, but it is not user friendly. It is impossible to train all employees (average Joe) to use such a difficult solution.

I believe this bug maybe related or a duplicate of bug 67527 and bug 49776 shouldnt have been closed as a duplicate of this, as this bug is KDE specific and that bug wasnt.

What is your take on this Maxim?

No. Bug 67527 is about using GIO on KDE system, this one is about KIO support.

> and bug 49776 shouldnt have been closed as a duplicate of this
Agree. Bug 49776 is either fixed as per Bug 49776 comment 6, or a variation of (one of the issues discussed in) Bug 67527.
Comment 7 Xisco Faulí 2019-06-13 15:46:54 UTC
Dear Jochen Herrmann,
KDE4 support has been dropped in LibreOffice 6.3.
Could you please try to reproduce it with LibreOffice 6.3 Beta1 from https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/GetInvolved#Test_Pre-releases ?
You can install it alongside the standard version.
I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'NEW' if the bug is still present in the master build
Comment 8 Michael Weghorn 2019-06-14 07:41:55 UTC
KIO support hasn't been implemented in kde5 VCL plugin so far.
Comment 9 Xisco Faulí 2019-11-29 13:27:43 UTC
Changing priority back to 'medium' since the number of duplicates is lower than 5
Comment 10 Michael Weghorn 2020-01-05 18:13:59 UTC
Note: While LibreOffice doesn't have native KIO support, there is now a KIO gateway for FUSE, which should make it possible to access the relevant files, s. more information at [1] and [2] and the links provided there.
