I would also add that even though asking for GTK3 applications like Chromium, Firefox, Thunderbird to call gtk_file_chooser_set_local_only(FALSE) seems like an easy fix, it is not:
when such applications then call for gtk_file_chooser_get_filename() (and _get_filenames), they could end up with NULL for remote files that are not fuse-mounted. Similarly, gtk_file_chooser_get_uri() (and _get_uris) behaves differently when local-only is set or not. With local-only set, _get_uri() returns a native file:/// path, without it returns a normal uri (smb:// ...) My understanding of the "show FUSE mounts in local-only mode" is that it helps numerous applications easily handle I/O with remote volumes without having to use GIO everywhere. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1714518 Title: GTK+3 doesn't show FUSE network shares in file chooser To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtk/+bug/1714518/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
