open file dialog returns unusable network path

[xoristzatziki]

using a macro to open an open file dialog and trying to catch the filename and path I get an unusable path.
I open the file dialog in the directory where the odb file is (a network place) using:
 oDBDoc = ThisComponent.Parent
 oDBDoc = ThisComponent.Parent
 If (Not GlobalScope.BasicLibraries.isLibraryLoaded("Tools")) Then
  GlobalScope.BasicLibraries.LoadLibrary("Tools")
 End If
 If (oDBDoc.hasLocation()) Then
  sDocURL = oDBDoc.getURL()
  uDocPath = DirectoryNameoutofPath(sDocURL, "/")
  sDocPath = ConvertFromUrl(uDocPath)
  MsgBox sDocPath
 Else
  MsgBox "No running component! Exiting!"
 End if

msgbox shows:
/run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-share:server=fserver,share=XXX/YYY/ZZZ

    file_dialog = CreateUnoService("com.sun.star.ui.dialogs.FilePicker")
    ucb = createUnoService("com.sun.star.ucb.SimpleFileAccess")
 AddFiltersToDialog(FilterNames(), file_dialog)
 'init_path = ConvertToUrl("/usr")
    If ucb.Exists(init_path) Then
       file_dialog.SetDisplayDirectory(uDocPath)
    End If
 open_status = file_dialog.Execute()
 If open_status = 1 Then
  selectedfile = file_dialog.Files(0)
 End If
 file_dialog.Dispose()

After selecting in that directory any file the returned name is

smb://myservername/myservershare/thenameofthefileinURLnotation

ConvertFromUrl returns the exact same filename (with smb and in URL notation).

xoristzatziki, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.

Could you please provide the macro that demonstrates this problem?

[xoristzatziki (simsonbike-bugs)]

The macro by itself is not problematic if used in local files.
You can use any macro for selecting-opening a file with CreateUnoService("com.sun.star.ui.dialogs.FilePicker")

opening an odb and getting the name using in a macro:
oDBDoc = ThisComponent.Parent
sDocURL = oDBDoc.getURL()

returns something like:
/run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-share:server=myservername,share=XXX/YYY/ZZZ)

but using in a macro the file dialog and selecting the same .odb:
selectedfile = file_dialog.Files(0)

returns something like
smb://myservername/myservershare/thenameofthefileinURLnotation)

which is a totally different "path to file" (the one contains a URI but the other not).
