            Bug ID: 119429
           Summary: implement native KIO support to avoid potential data
                    loss when using Dolphin file browser in SMB shares to
                    open documents
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.1.0.3 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: framework
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Browse an SMB share with KDE Plasma's recommended Dolphin file explorer and
with it, open a document file in e.g. LibreOffice Writer.
The file gets opened correctly and it looks like it can be edited.
However, saving the edited file at the network location fails because
LibreOffice uses Gnome's GIO, despite of running inside a KDE Plasma session.

This is especially nasty because the saving fails silently. The program makes
the user think that the file was successfully saved, but when reopening the
document, all the changes are lost.

This could be solved by adding native KIO support into LibreOffice.
See this ticket on KDE bugtracker:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=397742

The KDE filepicker that comes with gtk3_kde5 VCL allows to successfully edit
documents on SMB shares, but it doesn't help when opening the document out of
Dolphin.

Thanks!
