GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 391194
nautilus not auto-refreshing when deleting hidden files
Last modified: 2007-09-15 11:17:14 UTC
Please describe the problem: When a new file/folder is created or an old file/folder is renamed to begin with ".", it remains showing until the folder is refreshed. Not sure if that's a bug in itself, though. The problem is that before the folder is refreshed, and the file is still there, when that file/folder is moved to the trash using the delete key it remains there until the folder is refreshed. However, it shows up in the trash. Steps to reproduce: 1. Set Nautilus to NOT show hidden files (default) 2. Create a file or folder from the context menu with a name beginning with . 3. Select it and hit the Delete key Actual results: If there's already a file/folder with the same name in the trash, the file renames itself as if it is a copy, but doesn't disappear until the folder is refreshed. However, it appears in the trash, as if it's in two places at once. Expected results: The file should disappear from the folder it's deleted from. Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: Using Ubuntu 6.10, not sure if it's relevant.
