[Bug 278331] New: Digikam does not access files on NAS

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=278331

           Summary: Digikam does not access files on NAS
           Product: digikam
           Version: 1.9.0
          Platform: Debian stable
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Database
        AssignedTo: [hidden email]
        ReportedBy: [hidden email]


Version:           1.9.0
OS:                Linux

I have most of my picture files on a NAS server, which is part of my LAN.
When I try to add one of the NAS folders via Settings-Configure-Collections-
Network Shares-Add collection I can choose the folder on the NAS cliucking
through the Samba Shares tree. But when I add it, I get the window telling me:
"Problem adding collection. The selected folder does not exist or is not
readable".
How that, if I have just found it with Digikam?

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
The NAS is mounted using a bash scrip with gvfs-mount. It is accessible in
Dolphin. I use the menu steps Settings-Configure-Collections- Network
Shares-Add collection, find and choose a folder on the NAS (I do not want to
have all the picture directories continuously added as collction as that would
probably make the system very slow).

Actual Results:  
 I always get the response that the folder is not readable.

Expected Results:  
I want to b able to add the folders on the NAS as collections.

I am running DigiKam on a Ubuntu Natty Narwhal desktop PC. I am not a linux
guru, and unable to use the workarounds which were described in various forums
for older versions of DigiKam.

This is the relevant code in collectionmanager.cpp:
    QString path = fileUrl.toLocalFile(KUrl::RemoveTrailingSlash);
    QDir dir(path);
    if (!dir.isReadable())
    {
       *message = i18n("The selected folder does not exist or is not
readable");
    }
as you see, it looks pretty innocent. We'd need to check that nothing is done
to the file path prior to this, then why QDir says the directory is not
readable. I dont have a NAS for testing here.

It seems I found a work-around:

When the NAS is mounted, it can be accessed in the .gvfs folder (hidden). If I
add this as a local collection, it works fine. Just be sure you don't have too
big folders, else it takes ages to get them searched and added.

And now I will wait for 2.0.0. Maybe the samba works there. Or could there be
an issue that mounting with gvfs is different from mouting cifs, and DigiKam
only likes the cifs-mounted external resources?

Could it be that you have some sort of virtual file system with gvfs like some
KDE ioslaves do? We need a native filesystem provided by the kernel.

Jowi,

Do you see comment #4 from Marcel ?

Can you test digiKam 2.4 ?

I am not seeing the error message, instead it does nothing. I am running
Kubuntu 13.04 amd64, KDE 4.10.4, digikam 3.1.0.
