Can't save picture after opened a link picture

That bug has been opened on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/eog/+bug/46044 "Step to reproduce : open nautilus go to /usr/share/pixmaps/splash/ open ubuntu-splash.png with eog (double click on it) save as "test.png" on Desktop Look at the test.png on desktop ubuntu-splash.png is a link to ubuntu-slick.png test.png : is a link to /home/kagou/Desktop/ubuntu-slick.png but this file don't exist. ..."
This is strange. My fix for this would have been to add GNOME_VFS_XFER_FOLLOW_LINKS to the gnome_vfs_xfer_uri() call in eog_image_copy_file(). According to the docs this should have made gnome_vfs_xfer_uri() resolve symlinks. But strangely it keeps copying the symlink instead of the linked file. Is this the wanted behaviour or is it a possible bug in gnome-vfs?
works with with GNOME 2.14.3, might have been a gnome-vfs bug fixed, anyway marking as fixed
in fact no, I tried with the GNOME splash instead of the Ubuntu one, reopening
Oh, I already opened a gnome-vfs bug about that a few days ago: bug #349086 I just forgot to post it here.
This should be fixed now in SVN trunk with the GnomeVFS -> GIO transition (bug 509239). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
