GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 764938
Saving Files from Claw-Mail to server share
Last modified: 2018-04-15 00:12:06 UTC
I apologize if this is not the correct place to file this bug report. I originally filed it with "Claws-Mail"; however, they said it was a GTK problem. Running Claws Mail version 3.13.2 on a Windows 10 PRO/64 machine. I can not save a file to a network share. Using the syntax "\\server\share\" produces an error message about the indexer. This is the message: ********************************************************************** COULD NOT START THE SEARCH PROCESS The program was not able to create a connection to the indexer daemon. Please make sure it is running. ********************************************************************** Now, if I want to attach a file from a network share, using the same syntax, everything works fine. This inconsistency does not make sense. I can probably supply additional information if requested.
My guess is that filechooser dialog, which picks filenames for saving, doesn't work well with \\server\share syntax (this might or might not be related to GIO). I've tried to reproduce it in gtk3-widget-factory from gtk3-git-master, only to discover that mclasen enabled (unconditionally, it seems) native dialogs by default for gtkfilechooserbutton. Native dialogs don't seem to have this problem you're reporting. Anyway, i can't reproduce this quickly at the moment. However, that would also suggest that using 3.20.2 (or maybe 3.21.x, i'm not sure) might solve your problem.

This is from the Claws-Mail about dialog: System Information GTK+ 2.24.28 / GLib 2.45.2 Locale: en_US (charset: ISO-8859-1) Operating System: Win32
We're moving to gitlab! As part of this move, we are moving bugs to NEEDINFO if they haven't seen activity in more than a year. If this issue is still important to you and still relevant with GTK+ 3.22 or master, please reopen it and we will migrate it to gitlab.
As announced a while ago, we are migrating to gitlab, and bugs that haven't seen activity in the last year or so will be not be migrated, but closed out in bugzilla. If this bug is still relevant to you, you can open a new issue describing the symptoms and how to reproduce it with gtk 3.22.x or master in gitlab: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/new
