Saving files to remote locations using GtkFileChooser
Last modified: 2009-08-15 18:40:50 UTC
GEdit should support opening and saving remote files through GtkFileChooser. According to [1], it involves setting the "local-only" property to 0 and poking around with the get_uri method. regs, Chris [1] http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.2/gtk/GtkFileChooser.html
hmm... actually gedit 2.6.1 should open remote files using GtkFileChooser. Are you sure it does not work? Saving remote files is another problem. See bug #110191.
I was on gedit 2.6.0. Now I use 2.6.1 and now at least opening a remote file seems to work. Mea culpa. Thanks for your efforts. regs, Chris
