TIL that there's a utility called kio-fuse which just completely solves the "cannot open files from remote filesystems without copying first in KDE" issue on #NixOS
Like, you literally just have to add it to your systemPackages and that's it, now it all works and it auto-generates FUSE mounts for stuff instead of expecting every application to support KIO explicitly (which of course only KDE software does)
@joepie91 is this includes when you enable the plasma option or do I have to bring it in specifically
@ZeroEcks It needs to be brought in manually; it does not seem to get enabled by default with Plasma enabled (I've created an issue about that earlier today because it probably should be)
@joepie91 Do you know what the difference between these two packages would be? I am a bit confused which I should bring in.
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/kde/misc/kio-fuse/default.nix
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/tools/filesystems/kio-fuse/default.nix
They seem different... but also the same?
@joepie91 I think the first one I linked is kdePackages.kio-fuse and is brought in automatically, so I guess it also depends on the second package?
I will comment on the issue ig.
@joepie91 it seems kio-fuse overwrites kdePackages.kio-fuse and maybe thats your issue? I wrote it up on the issue :)
@ZeroEcks Huh, that's weird. I used the top-level one, not the kdePackages one. It also seems to work differently for me, so I've left a comment on the thread...
