[Bug 1714518] Re: GTK+3 doesn't show FUSE network shares in file chooser
Some Ubuntu users are newbies, they do not know about GVFS, FUSE and so on, so they can't suppose to use /media folder for network filesystems. This bug should be fixed as soon as possible. Xenial and Bionic are affected. Most Gtk3 applications are affected - the most common are Firefox, Google Chrome. ** Description changed: + Steps to reproduce: + 1. Install any Gtk3 application such as Firefox or Chromium. + 2. Mount network location through fstab or file-manager (SMB/CIFS, SFTP/SSH and so on) + 3. Try to save file to the remote location from Gtk3 application. + + Expected results: + * user is able to find network folder and save/open file to/from it with GtkFileChooser dialog + + Actual results: + * user is unable to find network folder and save/open file to/from it with GtkFileChooser dialog and many user applications are affected + + + - + Original bug description is below: + GTK+3 doesn't show FUSE network shares in file chooser - it used to do so in GTK+2, and the GTK+3 documentation still mentions it should do it. In the mean time, every user of every application switching to GTK+3 -- including Chromium, at some point between 58 and 60 -- (a change which happened in 16.04 LTS!!), loses the functionality to open or save directly to a network share. - I had chosen 16.04 LTS for deploying our workstations at work, and my 50 users have been suddenly unable to do a simple operation they have to do dozens of times a day. - They now have to "buffer" these files to their local filesystem when saving them and before uploading them, and then copy them to the company's network shares. + I had chosen 16.04 LTS for deploying our workstations at work, and my 50 users have been suddenly unable to do a simple operation they have to do dozens of times a day. + They now have to "buffer" these files to their local filesystem when saving them and before uploading them, and then copy them to the company's network shares.

[Bug 1714518] Re: GTK+3 doesn't show FUSE network shares in file chooser
Hello, Here is a (different) patch to fix the problem on Artful's GTK 3.22. The difference with the previous patch for GTK 3.18 is that there is now an "Other Locations" entry in the sidebar, which displays mounts via GtkPlacesView. This puts them in the correct place. ** Patch added: "Patch against GTK+3.22 for Artful" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+3.0/+bug/1714518/+attachment/4946007/+files/gtk-3.22-add-fuse-mounts-in-placesview.debdiff -- 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
[Bug 1714518] Re: GTK+3 doesn't show FUSE network shares in file chooser
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
[Bug 1714518] Re: GTK+3 doesn't show FUSE network shares in file chooser
Hi, No - I think the default is to show everything accessible via POSIX paths. There is some code in GTK+2 that specifically verifies if volumes are accessible via POSIX paths in local only mode, and adds them if they are. This includes FUSE-mounted network shares. in gtk/gtkfilechooserdefault.c: shortcuts_add_volumes() for example. -- 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
[Bug 1714518] Re: GTK+3 doesn't show FUSE network shares in file chooser
Why do you think showing network shares is supposed to be the default in GTK+ 3? My understanding is that it is documented that only local files are shown: https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkFileChooser.html#gtk-file-chooser-set-local-only I think the comment about FUSE was more of "on some systems, you may get network files showing anyway even though we try to follow the setting." -- 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
