This would break my primary use case for bookmarks. I don't bother bookmarking anything on my local system, as it's very easy to navigate to local resources. However, I do bookmark network file systems frequently, as it's a pain to type sftp://some.server.somewhere/long/path/to/the/files/that/I/want Clicking the bookmark opens a connection and FUSE mounts the remote filesystem automatically, saving me time and effort. Perhaps this is an indication that networked external filesystems are different enough from local external filesystems (like thumb drives) that they should be treated differently, but I'm not sure without more thought. - rm _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
