This is also a problem for those of us who wish to edit files stored on other machines on a local network.
I just spent around five hundred pounds on a network attached storage appliance and was not best pleased when I couldn't open files or save to it from the Gimp... Then I remembered that I've never been able to open files on other machines on the (Samba) network from within Gimp. After some desperate googling and a coffee and some more googling I find that the the VFS support module is simply not included by default. Adding gimp-gnomevfs is a complete fix for me using Gnome. It of course updates the (Gimp) file chooser to show network locations, so you don't even need to mess with the "Open URI" feature. Can I request the package managers consider including gimp-gnomevfs as a dependency rather than it just being a recommend dependency? -- gimp "open from url" doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146290 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
