--- Comment #41 from Jeff D. Hanson jhansonxi@gmail.com --- It's been about 13 years now. Is any more debate on this needed? Either this bug or bug #14501 needs to be fixed. I was going to file bugs regarding xplorer2 and Double Commander encountering this problem before a forum member pointed out this bug to me:

But I had trouble coming up with a valid use case that couldn't be covered by drive mapping or the use of native Linux tools. I didn't want to create more work for the devs by requesting an unneeded feature so I asked on Reddit:

They couldn't come up with a good example that wasn't a bug workaround, administration simplification, ease-of-use. Other than the examples from 2009, which may have been fixed or deprecated by now, there doesn't seem to be much demand or need for UNC support.
