Description Anders Magnusson 2005-03-22 20:39:02 UTC 
It would be really nice if F-Spot could handle remove GNOME VFS URLs, like
sftp:// and smb://.

I'm using F-Spot 0.0.10 from Ubuntu, and at least this is not supported in that
version (maybe support for this is available in CVS?).
Comment 1 Larry Ewing 2005-06-03 00:28:04 UTC 
do you mean for import or for export?
Comment 2 Anders Magnusson 2005-06-03 05:26:41 UTC 
I have all my pictures on a SMB-share on a server, so I guess I would like
import to support this.

But maybe export would be nice as well.
Comment 3 Larry Ewing 2006-01-11 20:39:13 UTC 
exporting to remote folders should work now.  I'd like to be able to support gnome-vfs for browsing as well but I won't have time to work on that for a long time.
Comment 4 Eetu Huisman 2006-04-11 09:28:22 UTC 
I was wondering whether using Gnome VFS would help in implementing the feature I requested in bug #314125. I guess that it would require some kind of external library which provides the HTTP authentication etc.
Comment 5 Larry Ewing 2006-10-10 00:50:39 UTC 
f-spot supports view files through gnome-vfs now, but it doesn't yet allow you to import them but leave them in the remote place.

Comment 7 Stephane Delcroix 2007-01-23 14:16:33 UTC 
I have a work-in-progress implementation for this, sitting in the F_SPOT_URI branch of the svn.

It allows 
- managing remote pictures
- local versions of remote pictures
- jpeg versions of raw pictures
- ...

don't try this branch on your actual db !!!
Comment 8 Anders Magnusson 2007-01-23 14:20:26 UTC 
Jpeg versions of raw pictures sounds like a great feature! I can't wait to try it out!

Comment 10 Maciej (Matthew) Piechotka 2008-12-04 00:39:34 UTC 
I'm not sure -  but aren't the newest gtk+/gio handle it all in the backround (via GVFS or FUSE+GVFS)?
