This is meant for opaque, non-POSIX-like backends to indicate that the URI is not persistent. Applications should look at G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_SYMLINK_TARGET for the persistent URI. Examples of such backends could be a portal for letting sandboxed applications access the file-system, or a database-backed storage like Google Drive. In these cases, the user visible file and folder names are different from the real identifiers, used by the backend. So, a request to create google-drive://user@gmail.com/foo/New\ File, would actually lead to google-drive://user@gmail.com/foo/bar on the server even though the user visible name is still "New File". Since the server-defined URI is persistent and sanity-checked by the backend, it is recommended that applications switch to it as soon as possible. Backends will try to keep a mapping from "fake" to "real" URIs, but those are only on a best effort basis. They might not be persistent or have the same guarantees as the "real" URIs. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=741602 |
