[Bug 95854] Re: Folder is overwritten with a file with the same name

2014-12-28 Thread TBeholder
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

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

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

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

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...

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:

2013-12-02 Thread TBeholder
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

This begins when nautilus is started, ends with nautilus --quit, so what else it can be? Addition: nautilus does obey command line nautilus --no-desktop, but this doesn't allow to use it from preferred applications, only manual launch of the specific .desktop avoids this bug. ** Attachment

Public bug reported: Even if show_desktop is set to false and exit_with_last_window to true (gconftool and gconf-editor confirm both are set so), Nautilus displays desktop (painted blue, Change Desktop Background from menu does nothing - no dialog appears); shows icons (with proper text but no
