i can open and save file on a SMB share.

can you please attach a screenshot of the error message?

Screenshot of error message labelled "Star Office"

Jack,
First time I tried to send an attachment to IZ and I was bounced 
before providing additional info.

The RHL box runs kernel 2.4.20-20.9

OOo was not running at the time the filename was double-clicked.  The 
error message box was the first item to pop up.

TM->HRO: Can you please have a look ? We weren´t able to reproduce
this problem. Thanks !

Oviously this a message from the file manager not from OOo. I'm not
aware of this but obviously an application has to register for smb
protocol otherwise I've no idea how the filemanager knows that OOo is
not capable of opening smb URLs (what actually is true).

Is this a GNOME desktop ?

@Dough: I'm wondering how you got that work because it can't work.
Probably you mounted a SMB volume into the filesystem and were able to
open files through the filesystem ?

@Christof, Oliver:
Please investigate wether an application has to register for several
protocols in GNOME vfs to let nautilus use the application for data
stored on an SMB share. What about HTTP ? This maybe a general issue
for OOo 2.0. And is this really Nautilus on GNOME ?  The appearance
and the icons don't tell me what kind of desktop this is.

OS set to Linux.

CCed.

Following the latest round of updates from RH, I can no longer 
reproduce the described behavior.  I now get an error message which 
states that Nautilus doesn't have a viewer for the file, in this case 
a .sxw file.

Anyway, the desktop is Gnome just to answer that question.

As the problem can no longer be recreated, I guess the cause needs to 
be ascribed to entropy and the issue closed.

So; since StarOffice can't cope with smb:// anyway, and nautilus will
not copy it to a temp file and open it (due to the user confusion
that'd cause) you're scuppered.

However - it is possible that there is room for improvement here.
StarOffice should install a .application description file; there are
several fields in that that should be filled in eg.:

epiphany
        command=epiphany
        name=Epiphany
        can_open_multiple_files=false
        startup_notify=true
        expects_uris=true
        requires_terminal=false
        supported_uri_schemes=file,http,ftp
       
mime_types=text/html,x-directory/webdav,x-directory/webdav-prefer-directory,image/gif,image/jpeg

You prolly want expects_uris, and supported_uri_schemes=http,https,
etc. in a similar fashion to epiphany.

Of course - with Gnome VFS support - it's only necessary to add:
uses_gnomevfs=true

HTH.

Grabbing this issue as RFE.

Changing the Summary from: Error message says "Star Office cannot
access SMB file."

Changing issue type to TASK (single line change).

Since it is not clear that we will have sufficient time for testing this, I'll
re-target this to 2.0.1.

*** Issue 43504 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***

As suggested in i43504 I will use "uses_gnomevfs" instead of
"supported_uri_schemes".

Seems we got a little more time until 2.0, changing target.

Michael, did you notice the incompatibility between gnome-vfs & OOo regarding
ftp uris ? 

It seems that nautilus passes non RFC compliant ftp uris to applications (no
user in url, absolute paths instead of a sequence of 'cd' commands). It happens
regardsless whether the app specified "uses_gnomevfs" or
"supported_uri_schemes=ftp".

This makes me think we should use "supported_uri_schemes=file,http,https,smb"
instead. What do you think ?

Until it is clear how the issue with ftp urls gets resolved, we are using now: 
supported_uri_schemes=file,http,https,smb

Fixed in CWS sysui07.
