To manage
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.

not an apples-to-apples test of what was originally reported against in

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
Andrei Drynov, this is not reproducible in Trusty.

The name “test” is already used in this location. Please use a different 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 couldn't reproduce it on 8.04.
With Jose's technic nautilus warned me that a folder exists with the same name
and will be overwritten.
In mc it will refuse to overwrite, because the folder exists.

This is absolutely a bug, i can't believe that its been open this long with no
fix.
As Andrei Drynov added before, you can not reproduce this behaviour outside
nautilus, when you attempt to do this in a terminal it throws an error mv:
cannot overwrite directory X with non-directory. I bet
Damn. 1 hour of compiling is lost by this bug!

Hi!
Last week I overwrited my Desktop with a file.
I can't reproduce it, but these were the steps:
- in opera chose to download a file
- in the save file dialog, I used the keyboard to navigate to Desktop folder
- after some letter, I quickly hit enter
- the file overwrited my Dektop dir
It was
Hello!
Just overwrote file over directory...
sorry, but for me its bug...
why shoud somebdy overwrite file over folder, anywhay?
also you can not create folder/file if there is already file/folder already
with same name...
this is crazy...
i dont like it all.. because also if file exists and
the comments seem to indicate it's fixed in hardy, closing the bug, feel
free to reopen if you still get the issue though

fixed.

I'm not sure if this is a fix or not, but I can not reproduce with
Nautilus 2.21.6 on Hardy Alpha. When moving the file into the directory
of the folder with the same name, you first receive the
replace/skip/cancel dialog:
A folder named Videos already exists. Do you want to replace
it?

There is a dialog asking you if you want to override the directory and
you acknowledge it, not really a nautilus bug. I've opened a bug
upstream anyway: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=425980. The
bug is low importance though, user can read the dialog and then click on
ok or not

What do you suggest?

Daniel, a couple of ideas:
1. Do not allow to overwrite a folder with a file
In Unix it is not possible anyway...
dhcp1k250:~/Desktop Andrei$ mkdir test
dhcp1k250:~/Desktop Andrei$ cd
dhcp1k250:~ Andrei$ touch test
dhcp1k250:~ Andrei$ cp test Desktop/
cp: cannot overwrite directory Desktop/test
I've just tested and I get a warning saying that the folder already
exists

I admit - not well-written bug.
There is a warning. Unfortunately, the folder with rich contents WILL
get replaced by a file if you accept.
Behaves differently on Mac OS X and Windows.
