So, this is what I can provide:
- two screenshots. Both show on the left the "create link" dialog (Create
New -> Link to Device -> nfs). It shows five tabs, the middle one
being "Device".
On the right you see the properties of an existing "Link to Device".
On the desktop of 3.5.13.2 you have the middle tab. On the desktop of
3.5.14.0.0 it does not show. The Link does not get the correct icon and it
does not work either (although mount <mount point> works, so the nfs mount
does work).
I also compared the Desktop Files, they are identical, so the problem is
deeper.

This sounds like something that might have slipped through testing as I am
not familiar with the feature you describe. In general, ever since R14
RC2 all software should be ready in its final functional form (even in RC1
this was mostly true but we ran into major problems with the compositor
for that release); the only changes between RC2 and Final are to resolve
some remaining crashes, minor defects, updated the documentation, etc.
Can you provide me with detailed reproduction instructions so that I can
check for a quick fix?
Thanks!
Tim ok,
here is a first short report about RC2:
- installation/upgrade from 3.5.13.2 (debian wheezy) did not go through
in
one step, I had to do 'aptitude dist-upgrade' 4 or 5 times, as it
stopped
with dependency errors. finally, competed, though.
- seems to work mostly, so far, but still some glitches:
- konact works, but crashes reproducable upon exit.
- some applications are missing/not available:
kate
kwrite
kradio
should I file bug reports about that ?

I also had to use apt-get dist-update to get R14 running, but only one
time.
But I have another problem: On R14 I can setup a "link to device" (an
nfs
share here) but it's not working: once the link is created, I get four
tabs
(General, permissions, meta-info and preview) where I used to have five
("device" is gone).
So the link is not working (mounting per hand does work). I rely heavily
on
these links so R14 is not usable at this point for me. I don't know if
this
is one of the "not yet ready" elements or a "bug"?
