Nope. I just now did it again in nautilus/trusty (1:3.10.1-0ubuntu9.4). Even after "nautilus --quit" and "rm -rf ~/.config/nautilus" in case it was my old config. Steps to reproduce: 1) create your crash test dummies: $mkdir /tmp/test_real ; mkdir /tmp/test_real/foo ; mkdir /tmp/test_link ; ln -sT "/tmp/test_real/foo" /tmp/test_link/foo 2) open "/tmp/test_real" and "/tmp/test_link" in two tabs 3) copy- or move- drag "foo" from "/tmp/test_link/" into "/tmp/test_real/" 4) nautilus will ask non-indicative question (see above) 5) observe symlink "foo" (pointing at itself and marked as bad, of course) where the original "foo" once was.
The same happens while merging a nested directory (try with /foo/bar if you have doubts) - and then the user have absolutely no hints about what's going on, and data loss will happen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/95854 Title: Folder is overwritten with a file with the same name To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/95854/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
