           Summary: Allow URL for remote site to be rewritten in terms of
                    remote:/ for better transparency
           Product: kio
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: remote
        AssignedTo: ervin ipsquad net
        ReportedBy: mtanev sbcglobal net


Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

I believe the remote:/ protocol should present and be usable in a transparent of actual network address fashion.

For example, if entry exists in remote:/ called Mother, say mapped to fish://mother.url/home/mother, then a user should be able to use the URL remote:/Mother/Documents/cookie_recipe rather than having to type fish://mother.url/home/mother/Documents/cookie_recipe.

Also, clicking on entry Mother, should not change the URL at any point to fish://fullurl, but rather to remote://Mother/relativeurl. So for example, when a user opens Mother, their url will show, remote:/Mother/ which will contain among everything else the folder called Documents, which if opened, the URL will update to remote:/Mother/Documents and so forth.

Additionally, the UP button should go up the url as expected by backtracking a folder denomination (moving back by a /), so remote:/Mother when moved up, would become remote:/

Thank you
