grid:// in LS #144

LS has replaced GLS to browse grid:// locations however grid:// is not listed in LS results for local directories. May be good for users to see that this is an option.

Not sure whether that is a good idea. It would show up in every ls for a local directory. Should we ever have some form of scripting, that will screw that up definitely. Also, it's just not correct, grid:// is not a child of the local directory. This is one of the reasons I started the discussion in the other ticket in the first place and wanted to know whether we somehow should "mount" the grid-filesystem somewhere in the local hierarchy. I'd be kind of ok with that (although I think the way it is at the moment is good enough as long as we tell users how to get to the remote files). But "mounting" it under every local directory, I really really think that is not a good idea...

As I mentioned in the other ticket, tab-completion will show you grid:// as an option, and that is correct, since it is an option. It is not part of the result, though...

Ok, that's fair enough, again I'll make it clear in the ls help and in other documentation that we can access grid locations this way.

Cool. Hm, I guess a topic "Files" wouldn't hurt? Explaining about how to access what, the virtual filesystem and all that. Happy to fill in gaps/correct if you'd kick it off...

Yeah sure, good idea.
