I can confirm this exact behavior. When connecting via CIFS, a proper notification is sent. When connecting via SMB2 or SMB3 protocol, the notification is not sent. This affects for example creating folders, where the default naming is something like "Untitled Folder" and is then changed to the name it should be. The name never changes from "Untitled Folder" on a another Mac OS X client until the share is unmounted and mounted again.
Testing this on a Linux client, the notification is also not sent but a refresh of the folder contents shows the updated information. This is where Mac OS X apparently falls short as there is no way to successfully refresh the SMB Finder window. The usual AppleScript approach via `tell application "Finder" to tell front window to update every item` simply hides the renamed item until you browser away from the folder and back again. The latter is clearly a Mac OS X issue, while the former a problem of Samba. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1576594 Title: File change notify does not occur on file rename To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1576594/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
