It's quite poor in 5.47 in the filepicker that opens from Spectacle. Here the
picker opened about the same size (exactly?) as the fonts window. I pulled the
lower right corner down and right, and the left pane remained horribly narrow,
filling with what shows as identical NFS entries for each potential yet not
active mount from fstab. Selecting any of the not mounted items produces no
change in the right hand pane, where I would expect the pane to be cleared or a
message about emptiness appear. There's no way to tell which if any have
content except by selecting each and waiting to see if the right pane
populates.

Comment 3 is probably a result of the only time I ever purposely opened
Dolphin. I'm an OFM user. Just moments ago Dolphin didn't open when I tried.

Select required directory if and when needed, either from navigating DIR pane,
or using Freq DIR or DIR History if applicable.

So, how does that integrate networks shares? Not at all, I would guess ...

Absolutely.

Linux distros are not just multitasking. They're also multiuser. Deselecting,
or reenabling, a single share at a time that is absent or not in random fashion
in no way resembles an acceptable solution.

So, who created fstabs with hundreds of network share entries but experts?

That isn't very helpful when there are dozens or hundreds. Also, that's a fix
that's only suitable for experts. This is an opportunity for a better UI more
generally.

you can hide any share you do not want to show up by adding:
x-gvfs-hide
to its options field.
