GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 455585
Nautilus can't properly handle files with special characters in combination with WebDAV
Last modified: 2010-03-24 00:28:55 UTC
Please describe the problem: When I have a file that has a : in its name and transfer that file with Nautilus to our WebDAV server I get weird behaviour. Copying to the WebDAV server with Nautilus is not a problem. Anything else is. Right clicking on the file makes the file "disappear" from the Nautilus window. Dragging the file back to my desktop does not copy the file, deleting does not work. The same operations work perfectly fine when I use files without a : in the name. Apart from : I also get it with , and @ and perhaps others, that I have not yet identified. Steps to reproduce: 1. connect to WebDAV server 2. upload a file with : in the name to the WebDAV server 3. try some operations on it Actual results: Nautilus can't handle operations on the file. No deletion, no copying, no properties. Instead, the file seems to disappear, until you hit reload. Expected results: Nautilus should let me show, delete, copy, etc. the file. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information: I've seen this on Fedora Core 6 and Fedora 7. Also see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=232239
Thus bug is a duplicate of bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=166969
Possibly Bug#561515, Bug#572429, and Bug#455585 are all related or duplicates?
I have not seen this bug for quite some time, at least not since the latest few versions of Fedora. It could be that the other bugs are different.
This has probably been fixed with the GIO transition. Closing as OBSOLETE, feel free to reopen if it's still happening for you.
