Description Federico Mena Quintero 2004-07-09 01:07:42 UTC 
See bug #139290.  gtk_file_system_gnome_vfs_get_folder() should return an error
in case the user doesn't have permissions to read the directory.

[How can we know this from gnome_vfs_monitor?]

Man, does FAM ever suck.  We don't get useful error codes from it, so we must do
these kinds of tests on our own.

Code is in place now to check whether the path actually exists and to see
whether it is actually a folder.  This is in the gnome-2-6 and HEAD branches.

I still need to do the permissions check.

About the permissions check, see comment #2 in bug #162617.
Comment 6 Luis Villa 2005-01-25 04:43:21 UTC 
I'm guessing this is closed, given Federico's comments in bug 162617. Federico,
can you reopen if I'm an idiot?
