Comment 20 for bug 304345

Re: Sebastien and Gary

Yes, the problem is application-specific. Core GNOME applications like GEdit and Evince include mounted network shares in the Volumes list. Other applications like Firefox do not. From what I understand about GtkFileChooser, this functionality has to be added explicitly because it requires GIO. The default GtkFileChooserDialog does not display network shares.

The other, related, problem mentioned by Mossroy is that bookmarked, but unmounted, network shares don't show up in any application except Nautilus. If you inspect the ~/.gtk-bookmarks file, you can see entries like smb://server/share in the file, but only Nautilus recognizes these URIs. On 12.04, GEdit and Evince also recognized them and displayed them with the other bookmarks (Documents, Downloads, etc), but Firefox did not. On 12.10, only Nautilus recognizes them.
