Desktop Sharing / Desktop Overlay Icons - show shared by me files

[stonerl]

When a file is shared to me by another user, the file-manager (e.g. Finder on OS X) indicates this by "extending" the overlay with the sharing icon.

But files I shared with other users or by link are not indicated at all (the upper file in the picture). Would it make sense to add such overlay icons?

Furthermore since desktop sharing has been introduced, imho it would be quite handy to have the possibility to see the shares in the desktop client as it can be on the server (Shared with you / Shared with others / Shared by link).

This might actually a server bug..
Which server version do you use? I remember there was something related to "Shared" flag being sent down to client as file permission.

I have exactly the same problem with the linux 1.8.0 client and 7.0.5 server.

@guruz This is not a server bug. It's a true limitation. Problem is again how to reflect it on Windows. All other OSes can have those icons easily I think.

with other vs from other

@icewind1991 @PVince81 Any comment? :)

We are showing the icon if the server report a "S" bit in the permission field.
Most likely the server don't report the right sharing state.
