Hi, After sometime succesfully connecting and disconnecting to shares using Gigolo on Xubuntu 11.10 64 bit, I sometimes find that the Connect menuitem is greyed out, thus preventing one from mounting additional shares manually. Bookmarks are of course fine. Reproduce: i find that this happens when i disconnect an existing share, but it happens after sometime (it's never the same time!) Workaround: Quitting the app and then restarting it shows the menu item enabled again (along with existing shares already mounted). Thanks,
Could you test whether it happens after selecting or deselecting a specific item in the list of mounts?
Hmm, I should have read your report more carefully: with "the Connect menuitem" you mean the menu "Actions->Connect"? If so, it is desired behaviour. This menu item is always insensitive when a mounted share is selected in the list. Unselecting it or selecting something un-mounted should make the button sensitive again. To create a new connection independently, the Connect toolbar item can be used which is always sensitive. Though that won't help if the toolbar is disabled. Would you think a separate menu item in the Actions menu like 'Create new connection' would help?

Ah I see. Yes, I thought the Actions->Connect is basically the same meaning as "Create New Connection". It is intuitive no? So as it stands there is no way to Create a New Connection other than creating a new Bookmark item and then connecting to that. The way I think it should behave is that you should be able to create a new connection without saving it as a bookmark. thanks for your help
The toolbar button works, as you say. So maybe just better user training required ;-)
I changed the behaviour of the Connect button in GIT so that it is always sensitive and behaves like the Connect button in the toolbar. Intuitive GUI is better than user training :).
