Public bug reported: When opening the File dialog in Chromium-browser (e.g. when attaching a file in webmail) the shares mounted with GVFS is not shown on the left side of the file dialog as with other Ubuntu applications. I see this as a usability bug to not have easy access to GVFS mounted shares in such common package as chromium-browser. Others might see this as a feature request.
See also the discussion at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1460716. The work around is to show hidden files in the file open dialog and then go to .gvfs and enter the mounted share. This is not logical and extremely bad usability. This applies to Ubuntu 11.10, chromium-browser 18.0.1025.142~r129054-0ubuntu0.11.10.1 ** Affects: chromium-browser (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: chromium-browser gnome-virtual-file-system gvfs usability -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/976168 Title: GVFS mounted drives not visible in Chromium-browser File open dialog To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/976168/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
