Hello guys,

I have used Konqueror since inception, mostly as a file management tool, to move stuff around different computers and folders.
Using fish://
And since day 1, there is a problem with the last SLASH in the folder names.

Namely:

1. unwanted functionality:
fish://root@violetvaio:23822/www/uploads/crab/
is clearly a folder, however, when loading it, Konqueror tries to list all files in that folder, in the URL, as if I wanted to select any of the files in that folder. This is clearly a superflous behaviour.

2. Erroneous functionality:
say I am in a sub-folder, for example: fish://root@violetvaio:23822/www/uploads/crab/test/
and I click the "UP-ARROW" on the menu bar on top, what will happen then is that the URL in Konqueror will change to:
fish://root@violetvaio:23822/www/uploads/crab
****MISSING THE LAST SLASH****
This is clearly the main problem. And we can see this if I try to drag-drop a file into that window, sometimes, but only sometimes, it will come up with an error, which says:
Cannot overwrite file "crab" , so, basically, the remote fishsrv.pl is assuming we want to overwrite the file, as the "crab" is missing the last slash, making it **NOT A FOLDER**

I think it's time someone looked at this issue once and for all, and always remember:

these are URLs:
http://www.crab.com/
http://www.crab.com/index.html
http://www.crab.com/crab2/

and these are not:
http://www.crab.com
http://www.crab.com/crab2

(same should apply to fish)


cheers
