My Guess would be that the LibreOffice and thunderbird is using a
different file browser eg nautilus rather than dolphin. The share that
you mapped in Dolphin looks like it is only availible in dolphin.
To check this from the command line run
mount
and look for a smb mount. This command would show you the OS/system
level mounts. What I suspect is either dolphin does not create a system
mount or it does just in a weird path.
* These are some guesses I have made, having not used dolphin nor fedora
17 :-)
I don't know offhand a GUI tool to do network system mounts. They can be
setup easily using fstab, autofs etc. the trick with samba is if you
need authentication AND security... if you do need both have a look at
pam_mount.

Hi all,
Just loaded Fedora 17.
In the file manager Dolphin, I have mapped a SMB share (to a NAS box)
and it works correctly.
When saving a file in LibreOffice or saving an attachment in
Thunderbird, or some other app, they don't list the network share that
has been mapped in Dolphin. Even after a reboot in case it needs it.
Seems really weird to me. If I map a drive or network share, you would
think it would become available to all applications, like MS Windows
does. However I sure as hope not that all applications have to map the
drive.
So, how does one map a drive in Fedora and make it available to ALL
applications when saving files? (and without a reboot)
Thanks,
Ben
