When I search with nepomuk and click to open a file, nepomuk copy them to /tmp/kde-$user with a name like nepomuk_3A_xxxxxxxxxxxx and them open the file. Is this normal? Is there any way to do it open the file directly?

I'm using KDE 4.3.90 in Gentoo ~amd64.


Thanks and sorry for my bad english.

This is often a result of the handling application being specified or configured incorrectly.

If a file is being "downloaded" to a temporary file before being handed to the actual target application, the most often cause is that the target application's command did not specify %u or %U as part of its description file or that the command associated with the respective file type is missing these hints.

%u and %U tell the launcher framework that the application is capable of handling URLs on its own, if the are missing the launcher plays safe and assumes only local file access capability, thus has to download the file.

What is the file type in your case and which application is being launched?

This problem occurs with virtually all filetypes, but only when opened from a search result. I checked the file associations in System Settings and are ok, all using %U. Okular, for example, use the command:

okular %U %i -caption "%c"

I also tried to start the application manually with the use "Open with" with %u or %U and the problem persists.

Ok, good to know.

Not sure what could cause this then, probably really Nepomuk doing that.

Lets wait if somebody else has an idea.

This happens to me in KDE 4.4 versions.

Actually I see Nepomuk in this tree really unstable and I doubt that all the problems could be fixed when KDE 4.4 stable will be released.

The worst was virtuoso hangs.

Known issue; Sebastian Trueg said it is fixed in the upcoming KDE 4.4rc2.

Yes, I known, but he writes that virtuoso 6 would be necessary and I wonder if this change would be free of problems.

Apparently with virtuoso 5 all previous db problems would be solved but the remedy was worst than the disease.
