Show remote server files and folders in Places through an add-on

Defman · July 14, 2015, 8:55pm

I have an add-on which connects to a remote server using koRemoteConnectionService. I get the server info from koRCS.getServerInfoList and uses koRCS.getConnection2 for connecting action. So the function returns koRemoteConnection object (which is valid of course, I can execute all of the commands for this interface). What function I should use to show files and directories in Places from the current connection (I store it in a variable) and what arguments I should pass to this function?

I think this is what you want:

github.com

Komodo/KomodoEdit/blob/master//src/modules/places/content/places.js#L1507


function ManagerClass() {
this.currentPlace = null;
this.currentPlaceIsLocal = true;
this.lastHomePlace = null;
this.lastLocalDirectoryChoice = null;
this.lastRemoteDirectoryChoice = null;
this.history_prevPlaces = [];
this.history_forwardPlaces = [];
this.history_maxPrevPlaceSize = 20;
this.focused = false;
this.controller = new ko.places.PlacesController();
window.controllers.appendController(this.controller);
parent.controllers.appendController(this.controller);


var gObserverSvc = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/observer-service;1"].
    getService(Components.interfaces.nsIObserverService);
gObserverSvc.addObserver(this, 'visit_directory_proposed', false);
gObserverSvc.addObserver(this, 'current_project_changed', false);
gObserverSvc.addObserver(this, 'file_changed', false);
parent.addEventListener('project_opened',
                        this.handle_project_opened_setup, false);

ie. ko.places.manager.openNamedRemoteDirectory(uri)

Thanks, I’ll try that!
