Description Matthias Nissen 2005-10-11 11:16:38 UTC 
If I connect to a smb-server with 3 shared folders, two of them are not visible
in nautilus:
The shares are named C$, D$ and Matthias. I can only see the last one in
nautilus, though I can connect to all of them with konqueror.

Retitling for clarity.  I haven't actually tested that the "$" in the share names are causing the problem, but they do sound suspicious.
Comment 3 Federico Mena Quintero 2006-01-26 23:29:26 UTC 
Indeed, gnome-vfs/modules/smb-method.c skips over shares whose names end with "$":

static gboolean
is_hidden_entry (char *name)
{
	if (name == NULL) return TRUE;

	if (*(name + strlen (name) -1) == '$') return TRUE;

	return FALSE;

}

(Gaah, and there's a bug if the share name happens to be empty...)

Aren't shares special if their names end with "$"?  Is one supposed to be able to see them?  I'll ask Jeremy about this.

Fixed in autobuild.  This will be in gnome-vfs2-2.12.2-18 or later.
