GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 105356
{regression} new folder rename doesn't erase 'untitled folder'
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
When creating a new folder you start typing a name for this folder. In 2.0 the 'untitled folder' would disapper once you start typing. In 2.1/2.2 it stays and you have to manually remove it.
Created attachment 14156 [details] [review] When renaming files, mark the old name as selected
This bug affects the renaming of existing files and folders too. The caret is also positioned at the beginning of the old name, which is not what you would expect from an text entry. I've attached a patch to fix this.
This really needs to get reviewed and into Gnome 2.2.1 if it's an ok fix. This is only applicable to the icon view so i'm changing the component. One issue: I think that when you create a new folder/file the text should be selected, but should it also be selected when doing a normal rename? this might lead to mistakes.

I agree with Mark, when creating a new folder the text "untitled folder" should be selected, but when doing a normal rename the old filename probably shouldn't be selected. Thanks for working on a patch, Tomas! You wouldn't be in the mood to create similar functionality for the List View, would you? :)
This has been fixed in CVS.
