Cannot open document from network location with WPS
Closed, WontfixPublic

Description

Hi,

I have installed WPS on my new Solus 3 installation and everything is working perfectly fine, except I cannot open a (Word) document from a network location.
I have set WPS to the default application to open Word documents and even right clicked the document to open with WPS, still WPS just opens and doesn't show the document.
When LibreOffice is installed alongside, LibreOffice opens the document instead of WPS even if WPS is the default application and when I try to open a document within WPS I cannot select a network location (isn't displayed).

This is really a show stopper for me as I need to open documents from my server.

Does the problem persist if you have LibreOffice deinstalled?

Yes, then it just opens WPS and creates a new document.

BTW, Linux Mint for example doesn't have this problem.

Can you provide some instructions of a) how you set up your network connections and b) how you access them typically with WPS. I could then try to reproduce it.

Upstream issue, nothing we can do to fix this.
