how to find a samba share's gvfs path?

  • 772

If Nautilus is used to drop a file on a samba share into an app, then the app will see: "SMB://server/share/file"

How is the app supposed to detect real, working gvfs path of that file ? different Ubuntu versions have different paths to the gvfs folder.

is there an API, or conversion script, or anything like that, that could translate that into the ull GVFS path ?

    Use GIO GVfs, for example in Python:

    #!/usr/bin/env python
from gi.repository import Gio

uri='SMB://server/share/file'

gvfs=Gio.Vfs.get_default()
path=gvfs.get_file_for_uri(uri).get_path()
print path
