Cannot see or open files on network

joelmarks

Kubuntu 24.04, deb package.

Zettler will only open local files.
If I "Open workspace" it can see network drive but not open folders on them.
If I "Open file" it cannot see network drives.

I tried the AppImage instead and on my edition of Kubuntu it is broken, failing with a permissions issue.

This is frustrating and any help appreciated. All my files are on my NAS.

I am able to install the Linux appimage on my Manjaro machine. As for the network drive issue, I tried adding Google Drive as a network drive in Nautilus (Gnome file manager) and can confirm that I am unable to open files in Zettlr that reside on Google Drive. I am able to see and browse the network drive in Zettlr's "Open" dialogue, but selecting an .md file fails silently — no file opens. I get the same result when I browse to the file in Nautilus, right-click and select Open With Zettlr.

I am able to open a workspace in Zettlr from the remote drive, but a) the folder name that appears in Zettlr's file manager is different from the folder name on Google Drive — Zettlr displays a long hash-looking directory name instead (1wGqryiS01OkZJ61v3uRixb9vMBtqCiZT). And b) the workspace folder appears empty in Zettlr despite the actual Google Drive folder containing .md files.

I know that Zettlr's file manager does not currently support soft links/simlinks and I suspect that something similar is going on here with its inability to see/open local representations of files on the network drive. But this last bit is pure supposition on my part.

I suggest filing a bug report and/or a feature request regarding this issue. Feel free to quote from my own attempt as described in this post.
