I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 with Thunderbird 31 and I can partially confirm this bug.
What is working: -) Mount an samba-share with Nautilus -) Compose a message in Thunderbird and CLICK ON THE ATTACHMENT BUTTON -) The samba share should be visible on the left (but it might be in a different order compared to Nautilus as there is no seperate "Network"-item. -) Browse to the files you want to add. What is not working: -) Mount an samba-share with Nautilus. -) Compuse a message in Thunderbird and DRAG AND DROP A FILE from the mounted Samba-share in Nautilus into the compose windows -) A link smb://name of sambaserver/path to file appears in the message in Thunderbird, but Thunderbird is unable to send the file. I don't know if this is a bug in Thunderbird or Nautilus, but I don't think this issue can be closed. Somebody refers to "~/.gvfs/smb\" but I think the mounting changed since that comment. Now it can be find in /run/user/uid/gvfs/smb- share:server=X,share=Y, where uid can be 1000 and X and Y have other values. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105088 Title: Thunderbird does not honor gnome-vfs paths To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/105088/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
