Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
I had previously reported problems with file manager (Nautilus 2.28.1),
in Ubuntu Karmic 9.10.
Files that are viewable in the command line 'ls' command, using the bash shell,
are not viewable in Natilus,
and also have the bad behavior of causing the 'spinning cursor' to come on and
stay indefinitely (> 5 minutes).
The problem seems to be triggered by filenames with underscore
characters inside.
To reproduce:
Open Natilus via Places->Home Folder
The file Proj is a symlink to ~/Documents/Projects, also listed as a
shortcut
ral...@sagan:~/Proj/Origami$ mv space_shuttle2.pdf SpaceShuttle.pdf
[files now viewable in Nautilus)
ral...@sagan:~/Proj/Origami$ mv SpaceShuttle.pdf space_shuttle2.pdf
No files in the ~/Proj/Origami are viewable in Nautilus, and the spinning
cursor comes on a stays on.
Once I rename the files back to the form with no underscore, there is no
problem.
