Comment 66 for bug 375145

I find it ironic that Canonical is willing to force Gnome into things it wasn't designed for, then overlook KDE, which shares so many design goals one would think it's tailored for Ubuntu.

Ideally, this would be handled by KDE as a KIOslave that accesses the files remotely without downloading everything. This would automatically allow remote editing/viewing of files by any application that supports KIO without consuming disk space on lightweight devices (netbooks/tablets/phones). Then, the Ubuntu One Music Store could go quite nicely in Amarok's Internet section and, instead of going the long way round and downloading to the computer then syncing with Ubuntu One, could automatically send it straight to the Ubuntu One directory in the cloud and make it available as a separate Collection that connects via the KIOslave.
