places-menu: can now ask user for info on mounting (2.17 KB, patch)

Description Benjamin Berg 2017-04-26 17:34:59 UTC 
Some users noticed that the places menu does not allow opening bookmarks which require a password for mounting. This is because the way that "mount_enclosing_volume" is called does not provide a way to prompt for the required password.

The simplest quick fix for this might be to open nautilus for the location. This is not ideal but nautilus should correctly handle the case and navigate to the target location afterwards.

Luckily gnome-shell already has a MountOperation so we can use that during the mount.
