GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 160226
the selection should stay on the renamed file
Last modified: 2006-04-09 15:34:13 UTC
In the list view: * rename a file => the selection goes to the next line but should stay on the file
I could not reproduce this with nautilus 2.9.2. The selection stays on the renamed file. What version of nautilus are you using ?
I've the bug with the current release (2.9.1). Not sure that's fixed since, I don't find any revelant entry on the CVS commits since then but I don't have myu jhbuild tree here to confirm. I'm reopening the bug, I'll close it if that's fixed in the next release.
I also tried it reproducing on nautilus 2.9.2 but could not. The selection stays on the renamed file.
Sebastien : are you able to reproduce this bug with 2.9.2 ? I'm still unable to reproduce it here.
my jhbuild doesn't update fine today and still no 2.9.2 release ....
Sebastien : were you able to reproduce this bug now that 2.9.2 is out ?
just tried, still bugged with 2.9.2
Can you describe what you do exactly ? Do you follow any unusual step ? To rename the file I right-click on it and select "rename", or use F2, and I don't see the bug...
I use nautilus in spatial: - open any folder - goes in the menu and change from icon to list - pick a file in the bottom of the folder - press F2 or right click and rename - put a name with a letter from the top of the list (so you are sure it needs to move) => the file is moved to the top of the window at the right place, but the selection goes to the next line I'm using hoary, GNOME 2.9.4, nautilus 2.9.2, gamin with inotify ... not sure but if you don't get the issue perhaps that's specific to gamin/inotify (according to Vincent Untz there is some issues with the panel monitors with it) ? Which file monitor are you using ?
Ok, I think I get it now - I was not modifying the first letters of the file. When I do that, it's even worse for me than for you - the file just sits there, like nothing happens. I have to change the selection or refresh the window to see the effect. I'm using magicdev (please don't kill me, I have an old setup) so I guess your issue is related to the file monitor... I'm marking as new
magicdev is a volume monitor, not a file monitor. You are using either fam or gamin (or nothing) :)
I'll go for fam (well at least it's running) But I wouldn't worry to much about my setup, I always need to refresh everything manually...

I am using garnome 2.10.1 and I can reproduce it every time with every users.
The problem comes when the list is ordered by name: after renaming, the renamed file can change its position, according to the renaming issued. However, the selections remains in the same-number file. E.g. consider a list: abba benin milano and rename abba (which is shown as the 1st file) to zabba. The file zabba will go to the last place, but the selection will remain on the 1st file.

Hmmm, I couldn't reproduce this on 2.14. Any chance it has been fixed already?
Yes, this should work now - see bug 326581. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 326581 ***
