Chris, Thanks for taking time out to respond. I appreciate your effort on my behalf. Sorry if I seem ungrateful, but I don't understand how half of the apps are coded and so don't understand the limitations imposed by the linux file system security. But in answer to the other questions ....
- You can chmod the folder in the mount directory so that only that user has access to it can't you ? wouldn't that be the solution ? - even as a limited rights user I can create a folder in the /media folder, doesn't Nautilus run in my security context ? - why is it a hidden folder ? where should I look for documentation on this in future ? I had no idea it used fuse, I did think about using grep to try and find the folder where it had jury rigged the link, but gave up - in response to your newbie statement. I am a newbie. I started using the gui and found very quickly that 95% of the useful apps are command line. I wanted to use fdupes to find duplicate files in my software to free up some space and didn't want to edit fstab and stuff. I think any newbie who is going to make the transition from a windows machine to a linux distribution needs to understand how these things work, and there is no (as far as I know) any man page about Nautilus fuse integration. Thanks for your help, I'm happily using the ~\.gvfs folder, I just think it would have been easier to implement it in a more logical manner so that the next 50 people after me that ask the same question .....didn't have to. ps, thanks again :-) -- when I map a drive in nautilus it does not create a folder in /media so I cannot use command line toos with the mapping https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491075 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gvfs in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
