[Bug] Loading files from GVFS SMB shares truncates them to zero bytes #2660
Description
Operating System
Linux
What's the issue you encountered?
When opening a file over a GVFS share, ImHex shows no bytes in the file. When checking in another file manager, the file is truncated to zero bytes.
(this would have lost me a ton of work if not for regular backups...)
How can the issue be reproduced?
- Mount a Samba (SMB/CIFS) share using GVFS - on XFCE this can be done by browsing the network in Thunar (file manager)
- Open a file from the share in ImHex (right click, open in ImHex)
- ImHex will show that the file is empty.
- Quit ImHex
- Check the file in the file manager: note that it's now zero bytes
ImHex Version
1.37.1, commit v1.37.X@f112123
ImHex Build Type
- Nightly or built from sources
Installation type
Apt install
Additional context?
Imhex version 1.37.1, commit v1.37.X@f112123 -- I think this is the version from the Mint 22.2 / Ubuntu 24.04 apt repos.
I'm running the XFCE flavour but as GVFS is a common component I'd expect this to be reproducible on Cinnamon or Gnome too.
