John, I'm not really sure what GIMP uses as a UI toolkit. I showed the Libre- Office one primarily because on my system it was almost identical in appearance and function to the dialog window from Gnucash apart from the missing USB mount and network mounts. I have explored a few other (non GTK) apps I use and whether they see the network an USB mounts is highly variable. As another user pointed out it isn't exactly a show stopper as you can always transfer a file elsewhere using Nemo or the OS facilities.
I'm also not very familiar with GTK3 either at this stage. I would guess they wrap the basic OS file and network access routines. I'll have a bit of a dig around the documentation and see if I can unearth anything useful. Firefox which uses GTK3 has reported network access issues in its file dialog on AskUbuntu (https://askubuntu.com/questions /764272/upload-dialogs-for-firefox-and-chrome-now-differ-ffs-doesnt- include-network-d). This post on unix stack exchange, https://unix.sta ckexchange.com/questions/198996/prevent-the-gtk-file-dialog-from- listing-mount-points, indicates that there is a way of stopping GTK from accessing mounted devices by the udev configuration, so maybe I can use the info to enable it. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/3 04345 for Audacious also reports similar problems and a fix. Will give it a try later today. I have some of the network mounts done in fstab and others for devices which may or may not be available using autofs so that may also be a source for differences within Linux.
