[Bug 39950] Re: local files are treated as remote files

[Sniffass]

Have since discovered that if browsing files using the GUI it uses such
protocols as system:/ and media:/ the various apps recognize these as
remote address and causes some problems. Rewriting the address bar from
something like media:/sda1/f.jpg to /media/sda1/f.jpg makes it work.
