Hi there. I'm a gnome user moving to KDE. The switch has been smooth and I like KDE very much. However, there is one thing that I cannot figure out yet. In gnome, when I mount a network share, it is accessible in nautilus as a user mount point through gvfs. Any application that understands gvfs has the mount point available. If an application is not gvfs aware I can still access that network share by going to the mount point (usually inside the folder $HOME/.gvfs). That is very convenient for old apps, navigating through the terminal, etc. Under KDE, it seems that applications access network shares directly, i.e smb://mynetworkshare , but I can't find a mount point or somethingt similar. Is there anything like gvfs on KDE? How can I access an already accessed network share, let's say, through Konsole, or through any other non-KDE app?

TIA,

Ignacio

Hi,

the library that does this stuff is called kio. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you whether it has mount points which are accessible for applications which do not use kio, but I don't think it has.

Greetings,

Thanks for your quick reply. I'm going to try fusesmb so I can access from any program

I can confirm that KIO does not make it's mount points available to non-KIO applications - simply because it does not have mount points. It performs data access in a different manner which does not support FUSE.
