I'm running Samba and can access the the share on the server from my Ubuntu laptop but as far as I can see EasyTag has no provision to look to network connections. I tried pasting "smb://linux-server/server/Music" into the EasyTag Browser address bar and I get "The entered path is invalid!: bla bla bla". I then tried to create a symbolic link to the share and I get "Error "Unsupported operation" while creating a link to "smb://linux...erver/Music" ". _______________________________________________ Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) MHVLS Auditorium Dec 5 - Open Source Show and Tell Jan 2 - TBD Feb 6 - DBUS Mar 5 - Setting up a platform-independent home/small office network using Linux
