Hello everyone,
I know that is not something you click every day, but I see that when you click on a link like nntp://news.gmane.org/ in the Konqueror web browser Dolphin opens that address (using the nntp KIOslave), displaying folders for the groups at that address.
Ok, it's nice, but I expected that the newsreader knode opened that address, so I could start browsing and reading newsgroups at that address as I do with my usual news server.

Do you know how I can change this behaviour?

thanks in advance
gerlos

This is handled by .protocol files in KDE's "services" directory, e.g. /usr/share/services, $HOME/.kde/share/services, etc.

You can get a full list by running this

Code: Select all

kde4-config --path services


They can refer to a KIO slave or an application.

Check the telnet.protocol for one that delegates to an application.

Cheers,

nothing of the above applies in KDE5 plasma any longer.

how to do it in kde5 ?

kde-open5 news://news.misc

or

kioclient5 exec nntp://news.mozilla.org

it all fails here even

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Icon=message-news
Type=Link
URL[$e]=news://news.misc


/usr/bin/thunderbird-beta -news dk.binaer # does what you expect
