Re: Enabling Network locations by default in File Chooser

[Timothy Arceri <t_arceri yahoo com au>]

After taking a look at some glib code I found a way to do what I wanted. The same logic is used in glib so I'm pretty confident I'm doing the right thing and I have attached a patch to the bug report. 

Federico it would be great if you could take a look at this when you get a spare minute. 


Thanks,
Tim

Thanks Colomban, these are two good points. But I still think its not a great solution to cripple systems that do have gvfs-fuse avaiable just because some other system might not have local mounts for remote locations. Is there any easy way for GTK to test for the avaliblity of gvfs-fuse and set local_only according based on the result? Or is this not the type of thing GTK would normally do?
