Because I did not allow enough space for my Linux installation when I set up a dual boot drive, I have been using an external USB drive for my files... documents, pictures, etc.
Although Dolphin file manager has no trouble finding folders and files on the drive, I have been having trouble with some software. When I ask OpenOffice or Gwenview to open a file which shows up in either my Recent Documents or when I use the Open dialog, the program then tells me that the file or location does not exist.
The way I work around this is to open Dolphin and when I click on the file there, the appropriate application to handle it opens. But this is a nuisance, and I don't understand why the applications cannot deal with the file. The drive is clearly mounted on start up... it appears with no problem in Dolphin. If the drive is mounted, why don't all the applications see it??
Any thoughts, anyone??
Thanks
Bob
