Description Glynn Foster 2002-08-01 12:56:15 UTC 
Steps to reproduce -

Drag and drop a .desktop file into applications-all-users:/// [nautilus].
This creates .desktop file in $prefix/share/applications and entry in
$prefix/etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/vfolders/applications-all-users.vfolder-info [to
avoid placing in the 'Applications' submenu...

You get the same behaviour if you drag and drop into applications:/// view
but obviously the .desktop file is created in
~/.gnome/vfolders/applications and only
~/.gnome/vfolders/applications.vfolder-info files are modified.

Ditto for preferences:/// 

Copying files into preferences-all-users:/// gives me an error message this
this is a read only file system [it's definitely not] so I couldn't test
the above
Comment 1 Glynn Foster 2002-08-08 12:55:18 UTC 
Still get duplication on recent sources. Have moved the
preferences-all-users:/// bug to a seperate bug.
Comment 2 Luis Villa 2002-08-09 15:44:32 UTC 
I get duplication in the rename case, too- rename in applications:,
close, reopen applications:, see two items. Works fine in the menu,
though. Is that the same root problem, alex?
Comment 3 Alex Graveley 2002-08-09 16:04:28 UTC 
Yup.
Comment 4 Glynn Foster 2002-08-16 15:04:36 UTC 
I don't see any duplication now when you drag an icon into the
nautilus view, and then refresh it...haven't tried with renaming stuff
yet.
