Re: [kpilot] proxy password in malconduit setup dialog

Hi Adriaan, Now is the password effectively stored encrypted in the config file. However, the is a little problem : If you modify some parameter in the config-dialog, the entered proxy password is lost when you apply changes and a null-string is stored in the config file. There is a simple workaround to this which is to enter the password again before clicking the apply button if you modify some other parameter in mal-setup dialog... The fix would probably reside in re-reading the kpassword infos before writing in the file. I checked quickly the sources but the solution is not so evident... Regards, Olivier.

Thanks for the patch.

I don't think it's possible because for KMail there's no way to know whether you will drop the attachment on the desktop to copy it there or whether you will drop it on KWrite (or some application) in order to open it.
