SUMMARY

As noted in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=227566, digiKam does not have support for SMB shares, which was resolved by instructing users to explicitly mount the folder natively. However, this recommendation is in direct conflict with the resolution of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=464705 that one should avoid using fstab and instead delegate network related file access to KIO-fuse.

* KIO * Is not portable to non Unix systems and is the hell to bundle.
