When i want to access my network share on the command line i usually use dolphin first to see where it is for the folder structure and then use mount -t cifs to access it on the console. Please do not mount it in hidden folders but just in the places where mounts belong in /mnt or /media since that would make it really usable on the command line as well. Btw. How is dolphin (thus KIO) handling network shares right now? Isn't it mounted somewhere already? I don't have a lot of spare time but i do want to work on this if possible but i'm guessing it's to hard and to much for just a spare time project so don't expect anything. Regards, Mark
