Release the file and chose "Copy here". 4. Click and hold the file from step 1. on the left panel. 5. Drag the file from left panel to the right panel. 6. Release the file and chose "Copy here". Actual Results: The application crashed. Expected Results: File was overwritten. Build Date & Platform: Name : gnome-commander Arch : x86_64 Epoch : 4 Version : 1.4.2 Release : 1.fc20 Size : 15 M Repo : installed From repo : updates-testing Additional Builds and Platforms: Don't know. Additional Information: The same thing happens if I copy the file from one directory to another in the local disk, or if I copy from local disk to remote disk (SSH connection).
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Without a stack trace from the crash it's hard to determine what caused it. Can you get us a stack trace (with debugging symbols)? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so. Thanks in advance!
I can confirm this annoying behavior in Gentoo Linux with the same release version of GCMD. Just as a workaround, use "F5" for copying and "F6" for moving by now. In these cases, GCMD doesn't crash if the filename is already existing in the target directory.
This bug has been fixed in the current development branch and will go in the next release, v1.4.3.
I can confirm that the bug is fixed in 1.4.3 version (FC20).
