kfmexec is launched when the user wants to open a remote file with an application that only supports local files. For this it does the following: - downloads a remote file to a temp location - starts a 'local' application with that temp file as argument - wait fors application to be exited - if the modification time of the file is different from the original one, (because the file was modified) then it offers re-uploading the modified version. This is how you offer network transparency to apps that don't have it. BUT: with KUniqueApplication, this breaks, because the app returns at once, so we have no way to know when the user finished editing the file... Conclusion: if the application has network transparency built-in, it should put "%u" in its desktop file - and kfmexec isn't used -. If it doesn't, either it's a KApplication and kfmexec does its job, or it's a KUniqueApplication and... kfmexec can't see modifications to the file. Be warned. From Waldo: "The program doesn't return _at once_. It returns after "newInstance()" returns. So if you open the file there it will still work. (Or rename it)" David Faure <faure@kde.org> 20-May-2000
