GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 328778
Keyring password asked when there are bookmarks to distant locations in GtkFileChooser
Last modified: 2006-02-01 20:46:29 UTC
Please describe the problem: When there are distant locations (eg ftp ones, like ftp://ftp.example.com/foo/bar) in the bookmarks, the password for the keyring manager is asked when the file chooser dialog is showed. The same issue exists with the FileChooserButton but there is no problem with the Places menu from the panel. This is quite annoying and seems useless since the directories poited by the bookmarks aren't accessed at all. Refusing keyring access has apparently no consequence at all. More, I didn't figure out directly why I was asked for my keyring password. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a new bookmark to a FTP location. (ex: ftp://ftp.example.com/foo/bar) 2. Click on the “Open file” menu in some program (eg gedit) Actual results: There is a prompt for the keyring password. If you refuse to give the password, you are prompted for the actual password of the distant location. This happens once for each distant bookmark. Expected results: The dialog should not ask me for my password to these locations since I don't access it. Does this happen every time? Yes, afaik it happens every time for ftp subdirectories. I don't know if it is the case for ftp root nor for sftp Other information:
Look at: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155420#c10 querying remoter servers just to get the bookmark icon is kinda anoying.
