Slow)
To: David Sugar <david.sugar@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>


I'm going to back off for a little bit and see how things pan out , I'll
continue to experiment on my own but I certainly don't want to step on
anyone's toes or get ahead of the founders of the project.

I do have a question however for anyone who hacks on PCfileman , Is there
native samba browsing or do you have to mount the shared locations via the
CLI?
And if you do have to do it manually are there any plans to include native
network browsing in the future?

Thanks!
