Hi, This has also been reported in Ubuntu. Installing gvfs-backends worked for that person (Kubuntu 17.04).
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gimp/+bug/1720582 "Open from Location" seems to be pretty core functionality to me. Would it be possible to move gvfs-backends to "Depends" instead of "Suggests". Or at least to "Recommends". Regards, Ross
