GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 532615
File operations on wriong file
Last modified: 2008-07-24 22:11:55 UTC
When opening a file such as a RAR or ZIP archive via Gnome Commander, extracting its contents to the same folder the archive is in, and then returning to Gnome-Commander window, the highlighter highlights file the archive originally selected, however, performing a file operation such as delete, actually deletes another file! This is repeatable and I've inadvertently deleted at least two files this way - luckily I've had backups!
I confirm this bug on the latest svn branch of 1.3. The help shows me version of 1.3.6. Gnome commander always deletes the _previous_ file. "Extract in Current Directory" and "Extract to ..." does the same.
Could you, please, describe in details steps to reproduce this behaviour? What are the filenames? And what is extracted from the archive? What is file sort order? What is file cursor position? TIA, Piotr
dump any zip or rar archive in a folder double click on it from Gnome Commander Extract its contents to the current directory Close the archive extraction program you will be returned to Gnome Commander The highlighted file in the file pane will be the archive file you double clicked on Delete this file using F8 Do a folder refresh - the file you thought you deleted is still htere, but the one that was listed above it is deleted. I always sort by extension the file names are irrelevant - this this using any archive.
Hi there I found another bug related to this. This bug existed in 1.2.5, haven't tried 1.2.6 yet. I created files for it on my domain to successfully reproduce the bug. The reproducing steps: - Open your fav browser (tried w/ FF2), open http://szako.hu/02, then save it or save page to some empty directory. The important thing is to '02' being there. - Go to GCMD and select that file, set focus on it. - Get back to your browser and open http://szako.hu/01, do the same as before, save it and get back to GCMD. - Delete the file being on focus. It's 02 file as you can see, but GCMD deletes the file above it, "01". It's the same situation as the extracting thing, one file gets above the selected file, GCMD "refreshes", but doesn't set focus again.
This problem has been fixed in our software repository. The fix will go into the next software release. Thank you for your bug report.
