> If they point to files on a network drive, and the network or the drive is not responding Well that's exactly the problem with network mounts, and the reason they are a sucky technical solution. KIO's async jobs never have that problem. You will never be able to remove all uses of synchronous local file APIs in all of Qt and KDE-made software -- or IMHO any other large toolkit or application. At best, the kernel should offer better solutions for users to get rid of non-responding mounts more easily.
