nautilus crashed with SIGABRT in __GI___open_catalog()

[cariboo]

Nautilus crashed when trying to setup local file sharing. I right clicked on the directory I want to share and selected Local Network Share.

That option is no longer available.

The bug is quite old and the code changed since, also there has been no new report of that specific problem nor activity for some years so assuming it has been resolved and closing the ticket. If you still get issues in newer versions feel free to open a new report though.
