Why do you think showing network shares is supposed to be the default in GTK+ 3?
My understanding is that it is documented that only local files are shown: https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkFileChooser.html#gtk-file-chooser-set-local-only I think the comment about FUSE was more of "on some systems, you may get network files showing anyway even though we try to follow the setting." -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gtk+3.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1714518 Title: GTK+3 doesn't show FUSE network shares in file chooser Status in GTK+: Unknown Status in gtk+3.0 package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: GTK+3 doesn't show FUSE network shares in file chooser - it used to do so in GTK+2, and the GTK+3 documentation still mentions it should do it. In the mean time, every user of every application switching to GTK+3 -- including Chromium, at some point between 58 and 60 -- (a change which happened in 16.04 LTS!!), loses the functionality to open or save directly to a network share. I had chosen 16.04 LTS for deploying our workstations at work, and my 50 users have been suddenly unable to do a simple operation they have to do dozens of times a day. They now have to "buffer" these files to their local filesystem when saving them and before uploading them, and then copy them to the company's network shares. They were already a little bit grumpy when it stopped working with Firefox, and are now really side-eyeing me when they apply updates and find Chromium broken. I have reported the bug upstream and provided a patch to fix this. I hope you'll be able and willing to include it to Ubuntu's GTK+3 package. Thanks in advance.
