Hi Riccardo, as you proposed I tried it with the recent GWorkspace version. The problem still exists.
As documented here: http://www.gnustep.org/resources/documentation/Developer/Base/Reference/NSFileManager.html it's not good to use colons in filenames. Windows and GWorkspace prohibit users from using colons in filenames. But wine creates those links nonetheless. Is there a way to exclude folders from the search? Markus ------------------------------------------ Hi Markus, I read the message I copied below by change. the Bugs mailing list is actually just for relay of the bugs entered ad bugs.gnustep.org. Please use gnustep discuss mailing lists: http://wiki.gnustep.org/index.php/Get_Help I did not try to reproduce your bug yet, however the current release is 0.9.2 http://www.gnustep.org/experience/GWorkspace.html And was released last year! I have 0.9.3 almost ready, but there is a strange bug I can't understand/fix so I am delaying it. Still 0.8.8 is from 2010, there were 3 newer releases with lots of bug fixes!! fear Ubuntu getspackages from Debian and those seem to be very old. I'm a bit outraged about their update slowness, I don't understand that. I know of atleast one bug which can make 0.8.8 immediately CRASH just by drag-and-dropping a file in certain circumstances. I took over GWorkspace maintainership really because it was bitrotting. Riccardo ------------------------ Hello, i found a bug in GWorkspace's searchtool. It was because of my wine installation that i found it. When using GWorkspace's searchtool in my home directory the search never reached an end. GWorkspace output was searchtool[7257] Failed to recurse into directory ... What causes the problem is that wine creates some symlinks named z: , c: , e:: and so forth under the directory .wine/dosdevices to reproduce the bug: (I'm using GWorkspace 0.8.8 and ubuntu 14.04 create a directory. If in that directory there are at least two files (normal file, folder or symlink) with exactly ONE letter and a following colon. e.g. "m:" and "r:" searchtool never reaches an end, when recursing in that directory.
