It's NOT a Gedit bug. It's a Samba (cifs-protocol) bug. The same result using Geany, Vim and Eclipse working with files over CIFS (Windows 2003 Server). All of them applications with file-changes detection.
The issue is reported in several forums and lists: http://www.nabble.com/multiple-problems-moving-up-from-smbfs-to-cifs-t3884792.html https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3551 https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4076 For people working in a mixed net (linux & windows machines) over a Windows 2003 file-server it's a BIG issue. Very very annoying. I work as app/web developer using Eclipse, everytime I save a file I have an alert when I write something "The file has been changed on the filsesystem, do you want to overwrite the changes?", then I choose "Yes/No", then another alert "The file has been changed on the filesystem. do you want to load the changes?". If reload latest changes (after save) will be lost. Everytime you save, everytime you see the alerts (even if you only change to another application and back after save). Think about it working in a project, saving and testing every code change. Severe impact on professionals/developers working with Ubuntu over Smb/Cifs file server. -- gedit fails to save files over smbfs/cifs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/34813 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
