Description Patrick Silva 2021-11-21 11:19:50 UTC
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. add to your /etc/fstab file a line to mount a CIFS network share
2. open Dolphin and observe your network share under 'Remote' section of Places panel
3. open Kickoff, click on 'Places' on bottom, observe 'Remote' section under 'Computer'.

OBSERVED RESULT
CIFS network shares are not present in Kickoff under Places > Computer > Remote

EXPECTED RESULT
the same remote locations should be present in Dolphin and Kickoff

This can't be done, because any code to detect mounted network shares would involve querying them which could cause the system to hang if the mount's network location isn't available.

Don't mount network shares as local folders. :) Use KIO-enabled apps and kio-fuse.

Oh, unless we already do so in Dolphin without causing any problems as your screenshot shows. So yeah we should re-use the same data.
