Created attachment 110001 [details] dialog mockup By default, LibO uses the operating system's dialogs, which means that most users will have no means of knowing that LO can connect to CMIS services like Google Drive. So in order to make this possible, i'd like to suggest an uno command be created called OpenCloud. When executed, the command opens a simple dialog which has a drop down list of connectible services and username and password fields. When the user presses OK, the CMIS service is created in the favourites section of LO's custom/modal dialog, if not already available, and then automatically selected, so that the user can begin browsing their files.

Created attachment 114164 [details] mockup The design team has come up with a proposal for the revamping of how LibreOffice interacts with remote files.

Adding eszka who is currently working on this issue.
So this was done as a GSoC 2015 and added in 5.1. I had been doing heavy testing of the dialog during the GSoC in the link below for the student to fix, but unfortunately not all the bugs were fixed. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mZe2w_ErCY9vWkUEsB8x9T9Hq-w3rn3BqmkT5GL3Z0M/edit?usp=sharing
Currently I have some free time and I'm working on the icon view for the file control. It is almost done, I will commit it soon.

Would also be good to retain the resized window size, which was recently fixed in bug 96393 for the LO custom file picker.
Just as a reference, the patches for the new Remote File dialog are here - https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/log/?h=feature/gsoc15-open-remote-files-dialog
This is marked as "FIXED", but how do we test it with the latest builds? It's disabled on both my Windows and Linux builds. The only working Windows tinderbox is http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/Win-x86@42/current/ That also has the "Remote Files" -> "Add Service" options all greyed out.
(In reply to Luke from comment #12) > This is marked as "FIXED", but how do we test it with the latest builds? You have to use a release and not a daily build to test google drive as the daily builds dont put in the sauce needed to have it run.

I thought i remember you doing it as well, but it seems to be broken now, even the columns in the dialog arent working correctly (bug 98395), and i was testing google drive and its not connecting on linux and gives a 'The specified device is invalid' error dialog. I hope that people arent making changes to LO's internal file picker and that is causing regressions with the remote file dialog.
