Thank you for posting the screenshot. I am now able to recreate the bug, and I am marking this report confirmed.

Anthony, I can confirm moving the file works. The bug only occurs when copying the file. -- replacing a symlink with its linked file truncates the original file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296484 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Thank you for reporting this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please indicate which version of Ubuntu you are currently using. After explicitly following your instructions I was unable to recreate your bug on Ubuntu 8.10 or 8.04.1. The expected behavior you described was the result I obtained. Perhaps you could elaborate further or post a video screencast of the behavior. Thanks in advance. ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- replacing a symlink with its linked file truncates the original file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296484 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
