Title:
Open scripts folder confuses Nautilus if hidden fIles aren't shown
Status in Nautilus:
Expired
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Binary package hint: nautilus
To reproduce this bug do the following.
1. Start Nautilus
2. Hide hidden files
3. Navigate to a directory with files in it.
4. RIght click on a file and select "scripts->open scripts folder"
You will notice that the left hand tree pane still has your directory
selected, but the right side shows the contents of ~/.gnome2/nautilus-
scripts. I would have expected it to navigate to the scripts
directory on the left hand pane. Note that if you have Nautilus set
to show hidden files then expected behavior occurs...the "open scripts
folder" menu item navigates you to the property directory.
This current behavior is confusing, but it gets worse (especially for
newbies). If you then click on your already highlighted folder, it
won't refresh the right side of nautilus, making it appear that the
contents of that select directory are gone! Scared the daylights out
of me for a second...
Perhaps Nautilus should tell warn users about this the first time they
try it: "In order to navigate to the scripts folder, it will be
necessary to show hidden files, do you want to continue?"
I have confirmed this in Ubuntu Gutsy and Hardy.
