Idea #12030: support fish, ftp and others protocols in gimp

Written by trylik the 9 Aug 08 at 09:51. Related project: GIMP Image Editor. Status: New
Rationale
i am using gimp and kde4, when i have to edit some graphics on ftp server, i have to download it first to my local drive, and then edit it and upload again to server

this would be very nice feature if i could work directly on networks protocols like ftp or fish

it is possible in quanta, why it is not in gimp?

because quanta is a KDE app, gimp tries to be more cross platform and not depend on kde or gnome libs which would be necessary to access ftp etc via a virtual file system.

and I can access ftp shares via Gnome BTW. (in fact Gnome mount them as a disk in user's home directory, so it's easy for any app to access them)

You can already do it, you only need to have gvfs running
