Description Christian Neumair 2005-07-10 12:24:52 UTC 
gnome_vfs_set_file_info doesn't have a GNOME_VFS_SET_FILE_INFO_SYMLINK_NAME
flags. Unfortunately, setting a symlink name isn't trivial for the file method.
Am I right that it only works through unlinking and then re-symlinking?

Proposed patch

Here we go. For now, I've just implemented the file method.
Comment 2 Christian Neumair 2006-07-16 06:01:52 UTC 
Updating version and component.
Comment 3 Christian Neumair 2006-07-16 06:04:41 UTC 
btw. I'm not sure whether I should check for file_info->valid_fields containing symlink_name. Is this just meant to be used as an output parameter (i.e. for do_get_file_info)?
Comment 4 Christian Neumair 2006-07-16 09:58:47 UTC 
A slightly modified patch was committed that doesn't check for valid_fields containing SYMLINK_NAME, and also updates the set_file_info documentation.
