We simply assume that any place accessed via samba will be mounted somewhere,
and so, able to be processed using the normal file-system mechanisms, or via
FUSE if the OS supports that.

Probably not so much effort to collect and display lists of items, but a very
big effort to intercept all file-system-related activities, decide if they need
to be handled specially, and then do so properly where appropriate. I can state
this with confidence, having looked into, and done some of the work for,
supporting vfs operations generally. There are hundreds of things which need to
be resolved and fixed, across much of the codebase. (Many of them are already
well on the way, but officially, there's no commitment to support vfs
operations, not least because there doesn't seem to be much interest among
emelFM2 users. The biggest issue, by a large amount, is management of entered
commands when the active directory can be anywhere/anything.)

If you'd like to proceed, we'll give as much guidance as possible.
