--- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
KDE apps don't use kio-fuse (they don't need to) so drag-and-drop failures
between KDE apps are unrelated. You would want to file bugs on the apps you're
dragging the file to.
However drag-and-drop failures from KDE apps to 3rd-party, non-KIO-using apps
would indeed require kio-fuse. A new feature would need to be implemented to
handle it.
Implementing this would entail something intercepting the drag, inspecting its
contents, and if the contents are a URL and the destination does not support a
URL with the scheme of the drag's URL, something would mount the location using
kio-fuse (if needed) and rewrite the URL to be the file path for the file on
the FUSE mount.
On X11, the only "something" that could do this is the X11 server, which is
either feature frozen or abandoned, depending on your point of view. As a
result, support for this on X11 is probably impossible, sadly.
However it's a possibility on Wayland, where the compositor (KWin) can be that
"something". It knows about paste data, it knows the destination, and it can be
taught how to use kio-fuse.
