static please

why not QList::contains()?

also, the checks for spaces in url1 and url2 are removed, which seems another unrelated change

230–232

please avoid unrelated changes

242–245

ditto

eh, of course.

also, the checks for spaces in url1 and url2 are removed, which seems another unrelated change

See the Git comment/Differential summary. It is not necessary anymore.

Although this is unrelated, these are safe changes nearby which make the code a bit cleaner. -> "Boy Scout rule"

Mostly OK from my POV, just please remove the unrelated changes to the patch (i.e. the brackets additions in two places).
I have no idea what "Boy Scout rule" is supposed to mean, however adding unrelated changes makes history reading harder, especially when wanting to check why certain changes were done. Again, material for a different patch than this.

The Boy Scout Rule can be summarized as: Leave your code better than you found it.

Meanwhile the other issues are talked about, I performed some tests under Kubuntu 18.04 LTS and Kubuntu 19.10 and the resulting code worked. Thanks, Alex, Yuri and Pino!

I removed the two added brackets again.

I will separate those code cleanup changes into different commits in the future.
But having different code reviews for total minor changes like this is unpractical. I have time for Krusader only every few weeks and this is too much overhead. The better choice then is to not do them anymore at all.

The new version of the proposal keeps being acceptable, of course :-)

In the meantime, the not directly related changes were applied in https://phabricator.kde.org/D27609.

Dear developers,

As code reviews in Phabricator are not going to be migrated to Gitlab (https://marc.info/?l=kde-core-devel&m=158909698416266&w=2), the commented issues were solved and this review is accepted since a long time ago: I'm going to do the git push if there is no objection. Thanks for all the developing and testing!
