Description Yichao Yu 2011-05-04 00:56:24 UTC 
While using nautilus 2.3* when I type "nautilus ." in command line, nautilus will open the current folder, however, in nautilus 3 it always opens the home folder when I do so. (xdg-open . opens the right one and I don't know why).

I am using nautilus to handle my desktop when I found this problem.
I have just tried to disable this feature and found out that nautilus indeed open the right folder this way.

I think the problem might be sending wrong signal to the existing nautilus process to open a new window?

Comment 9 Alexander Larsson 2011-05-24 07:32:04 UTC 
Yeah, the problem is that we're passing the "." to the already running instance of nautilus, and are picking up the current directory of that process.
Comment 10 Yichao Yu 2011-05-24 08:31:02 UTC 
Well, this makes sense.

Actually, what confuses me is that this problem isn't in nautilus 2.x. Did you fork the nautilus 3.x from a early version of nautilus or have you rewrite the  code of this part?
Comment 11 Cosimo Cecchi 2011-05-24 17:58:19 UTC 
This is fixed now in master.
As the fix is a bit invasive, I am not sure whether I will backport it in 3.0.2, but it might appear in a later Nautilus stable version.
