Files opened from network share in Nautilus do not use GVFS path
If an SMB share is mounted in Nautilus, using the smb://server/path URL format, files opened from that location with Junction will bypass the gvfs path and use the actual network path, meaning most applications won't be listed.
For example:
- On a system with VLC and Clapper installed
- Mount a network share in Nautilus using the
smb://hostname/pathURL - Open a video file from that share with Junction
At this point, neither video player will appear as Junction is using the smb://hostname/path/to/file.mp4 path to the file rather than the /run/user/<UID>/gvfs/smb-share:server=hostname,share=path/to/file.mp4 path, which any installed applications can use.
