Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2016-11-24 15:05:15 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '23'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2016-12-20 18:02:29 UTC
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Comment 3 Christian Dersch 2017-05-20 11:26:12 UTC
I introduced a Recommends: gvfs in the package, so it will be pulled in by default, but the user is able to avoid that if wanted.

Comment 7 Gerald Cox 2017-05-21 14:31:38 UTC
Thanks for taking the time to fix this.  
People should understand that if they refuse to use gvfs they are crippling their pcmanfm-qt.  It is a requirement for full functionality.

Here are a couple of helpful links which explain the why of gvfs with pcmanfm-qt:

https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/lubuntu-users/2013-April/003997.html
https://github.com/lxde/pcmanfm-qt/issues/405

Basically:

"pcmanfm-qt depends on GLib (through libfm) and uses gvfs for mounting, among other jobs. gvfs doesn't depend on Gnome."

and from the developer of pcmanfm-qt:
"About gvfs, I'll keep using it for now. Mixing GIO and Qt works
perfectly and Qt has built-in glib integration.
Gvfs has more and more backends and many of them has no FUSE-based equivalence.
An alternative would be to use KDE's KIO slave, if you're OK with the
KDE dependencies.
In comparison, gvfs is "relatively" more desktop-independent.
When the backends are carefully separated by packagers, it's actually
desktop independent and only brings few gnome deps.
If your gvfs installation depends on the whole gnome, blame the
packager of your distro."
