Bug Report: File browser dialog doesn't permit selection of directories under ntfs-3g mounts
I dual boot Windows 7 and Arch Linux, and I keep a NTFS partition which serves as a medium between the two systems. In Arch Linux, the partition is mounted to /mnt/storage using ntfs-3g, as shown in the excerpt from fstab below:
UUID=827C30F17C30E199/mnt/storagentfs-3g
defaults,gid=1002,dmask=002,fmask=003,permissions,recover,relatime,windows_names 0 0
My user account is a part of the group windows (gid = 1002), which has full access to the mount point. There's a Downloads folder on storage, which win-Tixati uses as its downloads folder. I'd like linux-Tixati to use the same folder, but unfortunately, it can't. Getting Tixati's folder selector to a path which lies under storage grays out the 'OK' button.
I've tried getting around the issues, but haven't accomplish much.
