Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
The network browser in Nautilus will adequately locate the available
shares on your local network. However, it displays each one with a
generic "server on the network" icon, along with the hostname that the
share resides on. This is problematic if a single host has multiple
services enabled.
In the screenshot I have uploaded, you can see my default Network view,
which shows 4 available shares, all located on the same host ("sluice").
By double-clicking on each, I was able to determine that:
- the first "sluice" is SFTP
- the second "sluice" is also SFTP. Why is this shown twice?
- the third "sluice" is FTP
- the fourth "SLUICE" is SMB, although there are no actual shares available.
I consider this a moderate to severe usability annoyance that should be
corrected before the next release.
