I have been trying to log this as a bug for days. Either the bug tracker is busted or it only lets a user have one open bug report at a time.
I have a Western Digital MyCloud on my network. I configure whatever base editor I'm using on whatever platform to automatically re-open everything which was open last time. KATE, UltraEdit, doesn't matter.
I have saved the account and password information in whatever this file browser is and told it to keep forever and created shortcuts so they always appear under Places.
When I boot, the drives do not auto-connect. When UltraEdit tries to ope this file smb://wdmycloud/roland/to-do.txt because it is always open, it fails and removes all files from "recent" history which are on that path.
Chosing File->Open shows a dialog which doesn't have an entry for the shortcut found in "Places" on the system file browser. One click on the shortcut entry in the file browser and we are "instantly" connected without having to provide any information. Now if I click File->Open in UltraEdit I see the shortcut for this path.
I'm flagging this as a bug because KaOS and quite a few other distros auto-reconnect network drives either at boot or at first access. While it might be easier to connect at boot it would be better to connect at first access and to always show every "Places" entry in the file chooser dialog provided by the OS/platform to applications.
