Removes the metafiles directory from DIRECTORIES_TO_IGNORE (311 bytes, patch)

Description Matthias Clasen 2005-11-28 20:43:39 UTC 
I tried to manually arranged some files in a folder, but sabayon didn't notice
it as a change. It probably needs to watch the metafiles in .nautilus for that.

Removes the metafiles directory from DIRECTORIES_TO_IGNORE 

Attaching a trivial patch. However, there must have been a specific reason why .nautilus/metafiles was put in the DIRECTORIES_TO_IGNORE list. Can someone shed more light on this ?

Removes the metafiles directory from DIRECTORIES_TO_IGNORE 

The reason is that .nautilus/metafiles stores information about absolute filenames.  Take a look at your ~/.nautilus/metafiles - it has a bunch of oddly-encoded filenames, and each one stores the metadata for a particular directory.
Comment 3 Federico Mena Quintero 2007-01-17 21:52:10 UTC 
I guess we would need some custom code to handle Nautilus metadata.  Maybe we can have a delegate sniffing the files source, and if it detects changes in ~/.nautilus/metafiles, it will translate the weird absolute filenames into relative ones.

The last Sabayon code changes took place in February 2010:
