Hi All, Some good solutions came out of this thread, but I also wonder why Nautilus cannot simply open files through smb:// I would expect it to be able to do this. Even if it is only downloading the file to /tmp and opening it locally for the user as mentioned by Adam. Seems like simple HCI to me. 1 click is better than 5. Any Nautilus hackers on this list? I'm using Gnome. Not sure if that matters or not.
