Nautilus loses stored notes when a path entered with trailing forward slash
Last modified: 2005-01-12 13:44:17 UTC
"Nautilus 2.4 is losing my notes. I usually have the side pane open displaying directory specific notes (e.g. my $HOME displays a todo). After a recent Debian Sarge upgrade to nautilus 2.4 my notes are disappearing, and I can now consistently reproduce the behaviour. To lose notes: * Open a folder in nautilus (eg /home/dsolley for me), view side pane and select view notes. * Enter something in the notes side pane, eg GERONIMO * `grep GERONIMO $HOME/.nautilus/metafiles/*` reveals a single XML file containing the word GERONIMO. * Now, to lose the note, simply enter the $HOME path with a trailing slash, eg: /home/dsolley as compared to (note the trailing slash): /home/dsolley/ * Now, there are no notes displayed in the side pane, and `grep GERONIMO $HOME/.nautilus/metafiles/*` returns zero results. The note has been lost." This bug is still here with nautilus 2.6.1 in browser mode. BTW it seems to not happen each time (but 2-3 retry on the url with a / is enough to delete the note apparently).
Do you still see this behaviour in 2.8.x/2.9.x?
I cannot reproduce it with nautilus 2.8.2-2.
works fine with 2.9 too, bug closed.
