Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gvfs
Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release: 8.04
gvfs 0.2.5-0ubuntu2
I use gvfs to mount my samba shares, since I couldn't get the
permissions right with cifs or smbfs. I frequently have to download
files from a website to a mounted samba share. When I select the mounted
samba share on the left of the "Save As" dialog under "places" then
click save, nothing happens (no errors, no downloading dialog, no saved
file). I often forget about this bug, and assume the file was saved
successfully.
A workaround is to browse to the mounted share in "~/.gvfs". I don't
understand why the shortcut doesn't work the same as the mount point in
".gvfs". Is there a way to remove the "places" shortcut, because it is
more of an annoyance than a convenience. I suspect it has something to
do with keyring access, but why would keyring access be required when
the share is already mounted and accessible through the filesystem?
