** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/28429 Title: Created .hidden folder/file stays visible after being created/deleted Status in Nautilus: Invalid Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: 1st bug: created .hidden folders in the Desktop folder appears on The Desktop (Hide all windows and show the desktop) and stays visible even if deleted 2nd bug: deleting a just created .hidden folder while "show hidden files" is unchecked stays visible in the file manager until a refresh. - Desktop folder : ~/Desktop - The Desktop : Hide all windows and show the desktop How to reproduce: (using nautilus) - With or without view > show hidden files checked (does not matter) 1. Create a folder .testfolder in the Desktop folder visible on The Desktop (1st bug) 2. delete this folder - Although the folder does not appear in the file browser, it stays visible on The Desktop (1st bug) - With view > show hidden files unchecked Create a folder named .testfolder in any location and then delete it - The folder stays visible in nautilus until a refresh (2nd bug) Notes: 1. The above steps produce the same bug for created documents (right click > create document ..) 2. Using the rm/mv commands to delete or move the folder created from nautilus also requires a refresh to hide them in nautilus (the folder is replaced with a file of unknown type and undetermined permissions) Version information: Ubuntu Feisty original reported on dapper by georg and KarlGoetz To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/28429/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
