Bug ID: 14163
Summary: Replacing a symlink with its actual file sometimes
deletes both files
Classification: Xfce Core
Product: Thunar
Version: 1.6.13
Hardware: PC (x86_64)
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Medium
Component: General
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.6.14
I cut (yes, should have copied...) a file in Thunar, and pasted it in a
directory containing a symlink pointing to the file.
As expected, I was prompted if I would like to cancel the operation, overwrite
the file, etc. I overwrote the file.
Both files were then missing from the filesystem. There was no way to undo the
operation.
I tried to reproduce the bug and could not do it. However, even if this happens
1/10000 of the time, it's still too often. This configuration file represented
hours of research and work that I will have to do all over again.
Sorry I don't have more information.
