Bug ID: 15704
Summary: Ghost files remain after moving files on a sftp remote
Classification: Xfce Core
Product: Thunar
Version: git
Hardware: Other
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Medium
Component: Core
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.8.8
Steps to reproduce:
- Connection e.g. via sftp (other remotes may show the same bug), to a folder
with files
- Select some file(s) and move them to the parent folder (e.g. via drag & drop
)
Result: The files actually will be moved, but the thunar still shows all of
them in the child folder, though they are not there any more.
The mayor difference to local file systems is, that "g_file_monitor_directory"
will return an error "this gvfs backend does not support file monitors" (or
similar).
( TODO: Display a notice to inform user on that. Currently this error is just
ignored )
I was a bit surprised to see that no ghost files remain after move for
nautilus. (as well uses gvfs).
However as well Nautilus is not able to track moves/renaming when done via 3rd
party software e.g. via console. So it as well has no folder monitor available
for sftp.
Instead I guess Nautilus just updates the containing folder after each internal
move/rename operation, instead of only relying on the file_monitor. I think
thunar should do the same.
In addition: So far I dont understand why there are ghost files for moving
files upwards, but not so, if the files are moved downwards.
