Title:
Nautilus won't allow .desktop extension to be changed
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Ubuntu 18.04 LTE Bionic Beaver.
1. right click mouse on desktop and select New Document -> Untitled
The file Untitled.desktop appears.
2. Right click on the file and select Rename.
3. In the file name dialog box, rename as follows:
From: Untitled.desktop
To: Untitled.txt
Then click the rename button in the dialog box.
The dialog box closes and a file appears with a name of:
Untitled.txt.desktop
Thus, ".desktop" cannot be deleted or renamed.
I expected to see Untitled.txt not Untitled.txt.desktop
I also expect to be able to create a file with no extension at all on
linux.
Cannot do that either.
I have also duplicated this behavior in other folders apart from the
desktop such as the default documents folder.
The only workaround I have is to create a file with extension that
does not end with .desktop is to use a text editor like Notepad++ to
create a new file then use "Save As".
Is this a bug? If not, it seems odd behavior. If I want to create a
new C++ file such as foo.cpp then I cannot do it with this behavior
and the make built-in rules will never file foo.cpp.desktop.
