It doesn't work for me (superficial tests only).

All the dependencies are installed and versions are OK.
MountShare shows up in the Plugin menu.
The Samba shares are found and listed correctly in the drop-down box.
A share available to everyone without restriction or password fails to mount, (not listed in SpaceFM).
A share requiring authentication fails to mount when given the correct credentials, (not listed in SpaceFM).
No error messages are received.

Via SMBNetFS the shares work as expected.

Mounting an anonymous share; doesn't give any error, but I don't see where it mounts to.


At some point after testing, spacefm wasn't opening, but making CPU go to 100%. I had to delete my user spacefm .config folder. Now it seem to run as usual.

Has anyone got this to work? On a fully updated antiX-12, using the current plugin it does not work here.

It scans the LAN OK, and sucessfully finds all the available shares. Having selected the mount point from the drop down list, and having supplied a vaild username and password, the dialog box immediately closes without generating an error message, but also without mounting the share.
