  [Upstream] Libreoffice: problems with saving docs to directories of
  Windows networks (through samba-connection)

Bug description:
  At the office I use my Ubuntu computer as a work station and connect
  it to our Windows network by establishing Samba (smb) connections. In
  this way I can not only use the print facilities but also use directly
  the network directories for opening, saving of documents.

  Since ubuntu 12.04 directories of windows networks have been
  integrated in the procedure for opening, saving of documents in
  Libreoffice. Directories available through open samba-connections thus
  are integrated in the list of directories on which docs can be saved.
  This was a great new features, since before 12.04 one had to save
  files on a local directory first and then move or copy them to the
  windows directory in Nautilus.

  After having done the upgrade to ubuntu 12.10 QQ this facility does
  not work as it should. The network directories are still shown and it
  it still possible to open a document. But is it not possible to save
  it and giving it another name.  Another thing which had become
  impossible is to open a document from another source than the network
  directory (e.g. local directory, attached doc to a mail) and save it
  in a directory of the network server.

  When doing this the system gives the information 'Error saving the document #name#. The file does not exist' (see screenshot 1, text in italian). If one then presses the OK-button there is a second error communication with the following text:
  Error is saving the document #name#:
  General Error
  Generel I/O error
  (see screenshot 2, text in italian)

  I have checked whether the same kind of error also occurs in other
  programs, at least in Evince (pdf-reader). This is not the case.

  A last issue I want to report is that when one opens a doc (e.g. odt)
  from a network directory, modifies it and then save it, this seems to
  work. There is no error messsage. When checking by re-opening the
  saved document, in a few experiments I did the modifications were not
  saved. In nautilus the date indication of the file also remained the
  same. In other experiments however the saving of the documents with
  the modifications seemed to work as it should.

  conclusion: the integration of network directories in LO has become
  unreliable, with a high risk of loss of information for the user.
