SUMMARY I use the mount utility to manually mount some samba drives I occasional need to access. The command goes like this. sudo mount -t cifs -o username=user,uid=u,gid=g,etc,etc samba_share mount_point This successfully mounts the samba share locally so that non kde apps who can't or don't use kio can access those files. The problem occurs when I open dolphin to see the mounted samba share. It correctly shows that it has been mounted in the network section since it is a network drive. However instead of using the mount_point name which is usually the name of the folder it is being mapped to. It instead uses the full url path of the mount_point folder instead. For example instead of showing Data in the network section it instead shows /home/user/some_path/Data. This makes it impossible to know which remote folder I am accessing especially when I have more than one. I decided to download thunar and nemo to see if they also showed mounted samba shares like this because honestly I don't have much experience with mounting network drives anyways. However, both of these applications show the mount_point folder albeit lowercased. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Mount remote samba share 2. Open dolphin 3. Look in Network Section OBSERVED RESULT See full path url depending on where you mounted the drive. EXPECTED RESULT To only see the folder that the remote drive is being mapped to aka the mount_point folder. The same way dolphin shows manually mounted usb devices.
