#4 Automatically create .directory files

[Anonymous]

It would be a nice feature if smbnetfs would automatically create .directory files in the workgroup and computer folders, which then contain icon specifications. Then Konqueror would display appropriate icons for these special folders, instead of using normal folder icons.

A simple .directory file could look like this:

[Desktop Entry]
Icon=network

That would give the folder a little "connected-world" icon :-)

Not sure whether Gnome (Nautilus) supports this as well, or how to do it there. So maybe it could be made a config option.

It's already possible. You can do it by hand through ~/.smb/smbnetfs.conf file using "link" directive.
Just create the special directory with icons and put required links on it to "~/.smb/smbnetfs.conf".
Also, you'll need to set "kde_workaround" variable to zero. Unfortunately, this recipe do not solve the problem with long delay during the shares list browsing (kde will try to open all existing shares and a share with name .Directory also)

Currently there are no way to solve this problem appropriately.
