Comment 4 for bug 1195272

I have problem using GIO URIs for SFTP mounts with meld:

$ meld "sftp://user@server/home/filename1.txt" "sftp://user@server/home/filename2.txt"

* "[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'sftp://user@server/home/filename1.txt'"
* "[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'sftp://user@server/home/filename2.txt'"

However meld seems to support GVFS style URIs:

* "/run/user/1000/gvfs/sftp:host=server,user=user/home/filename1.txt"

Am I missing something here? How did it work for you? Does it still work? Do I need special version of meld for it? I am using meld 1.8.4 on Ubuntu 14.04 at the moment.
