I'm trying import photos from an SMB share on my NAS, however, no network locations show up while trying to import on my Linux Mint 22 workstation, even though I'm properly logged into the share and can access it from the file browser. On the other hand, my older PC (running Mint 21.3) has no problem doing the same thing and the network locations show up underneath the computer's local resources. Both instances are using "Ansel-0.0.0+980.ga329ee63-x86_64.AppImage". Any ideas what's going wrong?

I have now also tried Linux Mint Debian Edition 6 on the same machine, that works, but Ansel does not see the network shares in Mint 22.
You need to install the GVFS packages for your system, noticeably the relevant SMB driver for GVFS. SMB networks have been confirmed to work with Ansel on Ubuntu and PopOS. GVFS provides the abstraction layer and handles the I/O through its own drivers, Ansel simply connects to that.

I think I had already checked that but I will check again, thanks.

I had these packages installed:
gvfs
gvfs-backends
gvfs-common
gvfs-daemon
gvfs-fuse
gvfs-libs
I think gvfs-backends handles the SMB stuff. I can also access my KeePassXC database which is a gvfs SMB link.
