Public bug reported: 1. create a folder on your desktop for example ~/Desktop/test/
2. mount an external usb on which there's a folder on which you don't have write permission for example /media/usbdisk/nowrite/ root:root 755 3. cut your folder on the desktop & paste it on the usb folder using the gui, which simply means: - right-click on the folder "test" on your desktop and choose "cut" - use pcmanfm to go to the usb folder and right-click on it and choose "past" 4. A window with the progress bar will open with an error on it saying "test: Error creating directory: permission denied" After that the original folder "test" on the desktop disappears, and of course there's no copy on the target folder. As a consequence you loose your original folder and all data in it. The original folder is removed while the error window is shown, the removing process doesn't wait for the user to press the close button on that window. Tested with: - pcmanfm 0.9.7 on lubuntu 10.10 - pcmanfm 0.9.9 on lubuntu 11.04 - pcmanfm 0.9.9 on ubuntu 11.04 here's the discussion on ubuntuforums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1817738 ** Affects: pcmanfm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: cut-paste folder lubuntu pcmanfm write-permission -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/820865 Title: pcmanfm cut&paste a folder to a destination folder withouth write permission causes data loss To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcmanfm/+bug/820865/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
