Description Jo 2017-01-04 15:01:54 UTC
Seems not possible to get references images from external hard drives, and a hard/soft link on my computer to an external hard drive doesn't work either.

Hi Jo,

Are you talking about the reference images docker? Your bug report says you're using Linux. If that's correct, you can navigate the entire file system hierarchy starting with the / and that means you can go to your external drive. The same holds for the regular file open dialog.

Yes :)

Ops, I forgot to set the correct Os, its Mac - I tried to access the hidden "/Volumes/" folder, which lists mounted devices without success.

That works for me on my powerbook :-(

Krita's file chooser isn't able to see other partitions of the same Hdd or external mounted discs. Due to the amount of saved references I order to keep things nicely arranged in other places than my startup disc. 
Checked with Krita 4.1.1
Comment 6 Andrew Crouthamel 2018-10-01 02:22:30 UTC
Changing to Reported status.
Comment 7 Halla Rempt 2018-10-01 12:41:24 UTC
Please do not check with 4.1.1; always check with the latest version. In 4.1.3 the file dialog shows the Volumes.
Comment 8 Jo 2018-10-02 12:22:01 UTC
Oh, great! I didn't know about the update. 
OK right now I'm around and busy - I tried to download the Mac desktop version with my Android phone but weren't able to click the "all download versions" label/link . Tried with 2 browsers. I'm able to click the label with "system requirements" but this doesn't help me very much.
Comment 9 Jo 2018-12-23 19:21:13 UTC
After downloading krita 417 I checked if the file chooser has been fixed finally. (Open file and open reference) 
The answer is no. Nor Partitions of my hard drive nor activated external hard drives are visible in the file chooser. Please fix that.

Works here, as you can see from the screenshot. You can also enable native file dialogs, if you don't like this one.

This is Mac specific: "Volumes" isn't a visible folder
OK I get the folder when I go on file name and input it's name. Alternatively I can show hidden files. 

Maybe a last suggestion. Maybe nice if "volumes" is added by default on the left side column of the chooser
Comment 12 Halla Rempt 2018-12-25 13:23:27 UTC
It is there by default.
