F26 Nautilus Search prevents ExtractTo Destination folder display
Last modified: 2017-08-09 20:27:28 UTC
In Gnome/Places file display (nautilus), the destination folder does not display current file tree if Search is active. May be incorrectly trying to apply search to initial path (current directory) for destinatio folder. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): System is X86_64 F24, upgraded from F23 with all updates applied. How reproducible: 100%. Verified is failing on multiple F24 installations. Steps to Reproduce: - Use Gnome Places to display directory with files. - Use ^F (Search) to display a subset of the files. - For one of these files, select "Copy To" and press enter The "Select Copy Destination" panel is displayed. Actual results: - Displays error pop-up The folder contents could not be displayed The specified location is not supported Expected results: - Show folder tree allowing selection of the copy destination Additional info: Same thing happens with "Move To". Since it does not happen without search, I would speculate that the filter is incorrectly being used against the current directory path which is the initial location for the destination selection. It's inconventient not to be able to use Search to display a subset of the files but at least it is not happening 100% of the time!

Updated as ongoing F25 problem.
"Extract To" is similarly affected.
The problem is significantly better on F26 (3.24.x). As far as I can see, all instances of Copy-to and Move-to have been corrected. There is still one residual Extract-to that is broken, but the menu where this is triggered is rather hidden. I will append more details on reproducing once have a scenario. I've updated the release and summary to reflect new reality.
Created attachment 357256 [details] [review] files-view: fix “extract to” dialog in search Currently, the file chooser dialog points to the base directory of the archive when selecting the location for decompression. This poses a problem when searching, as the file chooser is unable to display the directory. This commit fixes that by showing the file chooser at the base directory of the search.
