[Bug 95854] Re: Folder is overwritten with a file with the same name
Nope. I just now did it again in nautilus/trusty (1:3.10.1-0ubuntu9.4). Even after nautilus --quit and rm -rf ~/.config/nautilus in case it was my old config. Steps to reproduce: 1) create your crash test dummies: $mkdir /tmp/test_real ; mkdir /tmp/test_real/foo ; mkdir /tmp/test_link ; ln -sT /tmp/test_real/foo /tmp/test_link/foo 2) open /tmp/test_real and /tmp/test_link in two tabs 3) copy- or move- drag foo from /tmp/test_link/ into /tmp/test_real/ 4) nautilus will ask non-indicative question (see above) 5) observe symlink foo (pointing at itself and marked as bad, of course) where the original foo once was. The same happens while merging a nested directory (try with /foo/bar if you have doubts) - and then the user have absolutely no hints about what's going on, and data loss will happen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/95854 Title: Folder is overwritten with a file with the same name To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/95854/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 95854] Re: Folder is overwritten with a file with the same name
The difference with a text file is that it shows with a proper icon rather than the same folder icon, and nautilus specifically asks to overwrite rather than merge. But on symlinks nautilus asks Merge folder? and then actually overwrites. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/95854 Title: Folder is overwritten with a file with the same name To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/95854/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 95854] Re: Folder is overwritten with a file with the same name
Which is the trouble with this bug: it's actually several otherwise very minor shortcomings that add up to a nasty result. Apples-to-apples check did fix one problem, but it's circumvented via another. The second big deal, of course, is that usually symlinks are treated as their targets, but using this approach in ALL contexts indiscrimiately is bad. But. The dialog itself is flawed: it's important enough to show more than a tab does, and it shows less. Icons are good, but why the usual overlaid emblems are NOT applied in confirmation dialog? Then symlink would be at least clearly marked as such. Then, there's Size:(null) for directories. Sure, looking inside slows down the huge list - but in the dialog there's only one item and for merging/overwriting purpose it's kind of important what's inside it, so perhaps settings different from the file list (and more verbose by default, at least on X files + Y directories level, though seeing the size of at least of immediately contained files would help too) would improve the situation. Speaking of dialog, overwriting a directory with file is already unusual enough that perhaps this should be a separate category for apply to all purpose - just to be on the safe side. Merging a newer directory into old may call for overwrite of old files, but this shouldn't easily lead to something so strange and drastic. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/95854 Title: Folder is overwritten with a file with the same name To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/95854/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1243806] Re: The names column has its width dictated by other columns
Auto column size in general. Which cannot even be turned off (of course, any feature that cannot be turned off already is a potential bug, this just illustrates the principle). Columns are often bigger than needed, and it looks like they are resizeable, yet if you move separator between column headerss #2 and #3 to the right(!), #3 stays the same, #2 expands and #1 (Name) shrinks.

[Bug 95854] Re: Folder is overwritten with a file with the same name
Ran into this one too, in a different way. What makes it even worse: if you merge directories, it's MUCH more likely than usual that at least one of them contains symlinks into another. And then moved symlinks overwrite their own destinations. With files you at least retain something useful... I just tested it meging two .../test/ - destination contained a real non-empty subdirectory and source contained symlink to it with the same name. Oh, yes, nautilus does ask whether to overwrite. The problem: it asks this - File conflict Merge folder 1? Another folder of the same name exists in test ... [folder icon] Original file Size:(null) Last modified: 11:22 [folder icon] Replace with: Size:(null) Last modified: 11:33 Which gives an impression that they are of the same type and both are empty - while neither is true. Thus the user trusting the dialog is going to confirm, and have the real directory overwritten with now- broken link. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/95854 Title: Folder is overwritten with a file with the same name To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/95854/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1174529] Re: Nautilus searches All Files when it should search Home
Yes, quick-search feature and Ctrl-F do the same. This 1) makes them reundant. 2) makes quick-search mostly unusable for the original purpose - that is, quick selection of a file without having to scroll through long lists. Suppose the user wants to find .profile in $HOME. Expected behaviour: type .p and it would be 2-nd or 3-rd file after selected. What happens instead: the first pressed key nearly freezes nautilus as it tries to dig through the whole $HOME/* tree - then it may eventually show every .* file down there or may freeze completely. Until then, it does both intense disk seeking and CPU consumption. The problem: even in best-case scenario, scrolling a long list is faster by many orders of magnitude in any place with big subtree, like $HOME or /usr/share. Meaning quick-search is almost useless for quick searching. Both points mean it's a bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1174529 Title: Nautilus searches All Files when it should search Home To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1174529/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1257176] [NEW] Antialiasing is always on
Public bug reported: Full antialiasing that minces all fonts into eye-straining blur is always on. Evince apparently has no rendering controls of its own, whether config files or CLI - but then, isn't it reasonable to expect an application without its own preferences to obey the generic system settings?

This begins when nautilus is started, ends with nautilus --quit, so what else it can be?
