Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
Nautilus displays the wrong filename in the copy/move dialog when one of
the files is "skipped". Here's how to reproduce:
- Find two files for testing. Use large files (several hundred MB) so
that the copy dialog will be shown long enough to observe the behaviour.
Ideally, use files of different sizes so that you can observe the "bytes
left to copy" behaviour. In my case the files were 1.2GB and 300MB.
- Set up a target directory and copy ONE of the test files to that
directory. In my case, the first (alphabetically) of the two files was
already in the target directory. The behaviour _might_ not be the same
if it's not the first file which already exists.
- Now copy both test files to the target directory at the same time
(select both and drag them to the target, holding Ctrl down if the
target dir is on the same device as the original files).
- Nautilus will warn "file exists, what do you want to do?" Click SKIP.
- Now read the file name shown in the copy dialog and observe the "bytes
to copy" graphic. The name is that of the first (skipped) file but the
size is that of the second file.
After clicking SKIP, the copy process starts and says "copying file A
..." (the file which was skipped) but is actually copying file B (which
i could see by the size - file A was 4x bigger than file B). The
incorrect name is displayed throughout the copy process.
The problem seems to be that the progress dialog simply iterates through
the file names without respecting (or not knowing?) that the given file
was skipped.
OS: Ubuntu 11.04 on x86/32, last updated on 15 May 2011. i have not
tested on other platforms.
