Sorry, if I have just missed this, but I cannot seem to find a resolution to this problem.

I have written a small program in python 2.7 using Qt designer to deal with the graphical interface. I call file\_dialog() at some point to use the OS dialog screen to locate the directory that I wish the program to write to. Here is where the problem arises: 

I have a windows share drive available in nautilus: accessed through Places>Connect to server ... I can see all of the files in place through nautilus, and create and destroy files etc, but this location is not visible from the invoked file\_dialog() from python. I cannot even find from the command line where the networked share is mounted.

file\_dialog is a defined function:

```
def file_dialog(self):
    dir_path = QtGui.QFileDialog.getExistingDirectory(self)
    return dir_path

```

Any help would be much appreciated, and sorry that this is probably something trivial.

Thanks a lot in advance.
