Description DF 2025-06-26 08:55:14 UTC

SUMMARY

Mounting SMB shares via smb4k works well, however, Dolphin is able to mount SMB root folders (e.g., //192.168.x.x/) while smb4k is able to mount only subfolders (e.g., //192.168.x.x/subfolder)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Mount Dialog
2. Add //192.168.0.1/
3. unless you add a subfolder, the OK button is disabled

OBSERVED RESULT

Unless you add a subfolder, the OK button is disabled in smb4k, while Dolphin is able to mount it.

EXPECTED RESULT

I would like to mount smb root folders

Thank you for reporting this observation. However, the root folder of a Samba server cannot be mounted, only the shares provided by the server can. So, the "OK" button is only enabled in case you provide a UNC (or URL) with a subfolder. Hence, the behavior is correct. 

However, while I was dealing with your report, I found some other problems in the mount dialog that I fixed and that will be made available with the next point release.
