Ok. I made a mistake in reporting this bug. Let me correct myself in what applications are affected. It appears applications like gedit, totem, openoffice.org* are not affected by this bug. It looks great in most apps. It just seems to be affecting Firefox and Thunderbird as best as I can tell. I found this xulrunner bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xulrunner/+bug/231221 More clarification. In these apps, the GVFS connections appear: gedit openoffice totem gimp fileroller rhythmbox In these apps, which are all non-GNOME apps, the connections and shortcuts do not appear: opera k3b brasero firefox thunderbird opera any KDE app OK, you're mixing few things together. Remember that Gnome desktop from RHEL5 is way too behind modern Gnome desktop and things have changed a bit. (In reply to comment #0) > If you create a bookmark referring to a SFTP gvfs connection in Nautilus, it is > hidden from view in any save/open dialogs. Bookmarks are saved in ~/.gtk-bookmarks and are shared across GtkFileChooser and Nautilus. You should see your newly created bookmark there. > Steps to Reproduce: > 1. File -> System Tools -> file browser > 2. File -> Connect to Server > 3. Set up a SSH/SFTP connection to a remote host > 4. Add 1 or more bookmarks to various folders on this remote host This way you create a bookmark AND active GIO mount. That means you should see that bookmark in the second section of FileChooser pane (i.e. listed with system disks, Desktop etc.). Below the line are inactive (not mounted) bookmarks. > You could work around this with a symlink on the local FS to ~/.gvfs/sftp on > $HOST/PATH/TO/FOLDER/YOU/WANT/BOOKMARKED Uh, please don't do that, ~/.gvfs is just a fuse daemon, kind of proxy to active GIO mounts. It will disappear on next login. It's certainly not persistent in any way. > Additionally, the "sftp on $HOST" entry is missing too. If it's not mounted, it's not there. > This also affects Fedora 13 and RHEL 5.5. RHEL5.5 uses gnome-vfs2, Fedora 13 uses gvfs, two completely separate subsystems.

E.g. Firefox in RHEL6 still uses gnome-vfs2 for file handling and thus is unable to see GIO mounts. The FileChooser widget is just one side, applications must use GIO API to access resources there. This is the root problem of your bugreport, you should push developers of these packages to stop using gnome-vfs. Development Management has reviewed and declined this request. You may appeal this decision by reopening this request. |
