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.
I don't know nautilus, but I don't think I'd want it to be downloading a file to /tmp, since I think it'd be easy for the user to miss this fact and believe they were modifying the original file.
I do agree with you in general though, it should be easy to do this.
