Inadequate "open" dialog if remote backend is used. #16

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Set up shakespeer backend on a remote server (sphubd and sphashd).
  2. Start the GUI on a mac and configure it to connect to that remote backend.
  3. Try up the shared directories via the aqua GUI.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I expect to be able to enter the full path of the shared directories, which are on the remote server. The GUI does not let me do this. Instead it gives me the "open" dialog so I could choose the location. This dialog is useless in this scenario because the shared files/directories are not stored on the local mac, they are on the remote server.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? I use shakespeer 0.9.10. Backend (sphubd and sphashd) and CLI are on Ubuntu 8.04.1 server. Aqua GUI is on a mac (OSX Leopard 10.5.1).

Please provide any additional information below. Instead of (or in addition to) the "open" dialog, I need to be able to manually enter the path of the shared directories.
