GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 318278
Nautilus bookmark editing doesn't save correctly

This bug has been opened here: https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17288 "The "Edit Bookmarks" dialog in Nautilus is very non-intuitive to use. Steps to reproduce problem: 1) Create two or more bookmarks in Nautilus 2) Select "Edit Bookmarks" 3) In the Edit dialog, select a bookmark and rename it. Note that the name in the list on the left changes to match the edit 4) Click on another bookmark name in the list 5) Edit second bookmark 6) Click close Result: only the second bookmark rename is remembered - all other edits are abandoned. You can force the changes to be saved by pressing enter after every rename, but this is not clear from the dialog. I think the expected behaviour would be that changes are either saved immediately on renaming, or when the rename text box loses focus."
Confirmed with Nautilus 2.14.3 on Ubuntu Dapper.
Just noticed that this also happens in Nautilus 2.21.93 (Ubuntu Hardy Alpha).

Created attachment 107316 [details] [review] Proposed patch This patch ensures that the old selection is restored when repopulating the bookmark list, and that changes in the text field are written back before the tree selection is changed.
Committed to trunk and GNOME 2.22 branch (will be incorporated in Nautilus 2.22.2): http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/nautilus?view=revision&revision=13996 http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/nautilus?view=revision&revision=13997 Closing.
