PI on Ubuntu-Open Image Files
« on: 2016 September 09 17:13:07 »
I have a copy of PI installed on my Ubuntu 16 workstation. Runs fine. I also have a WD MyCloud NAS server on the gigabit network. But when I try to open files in PI all I am able to see is the /root and my Home directory.   Is there anyway I can add a link to the left side box so as to speed up finding sub directories and image files on the NAS, it uses NFS and SMB etc...  I prefer to use PI on my dual Xeon station, but moving around is seemingly faster in Win10.  Any help appreciated.

i suppose if you don't get an answer, you can always create a symbolic link to the nas in your home directory:

cd ~
ln -s /path/to/server/directory .

you'll get a link called "directory" in your homedir that hopefully the file browser can see.
