Re: Support for remote file in location window

[Robert Orzanna <orschiro gmail com>]

Thanks for your responses.

Ritesh is talking about gvfs, you, Jasper, about gtk. Could you
clarify how they work together?

As for the application:

Generally I need this feature when trying to upload something onto a
website using Chromium. Pressing the upload button on the website then
opens the "Open file" window [1]. However, I am not sure which program
provides this window. As for the file manager, I am using Nautilus.

So, is there any way how I can tell the window to accept remote files?

Regards,

Robert
