GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 627110
rename does not select the filename, but also the extension
Last modified: 2011-05-16 20:55:27 UTC
2.31.6-0ubuntu3.2 *only using list view* when I rename a file nautilus should only select the filename and leave the extension unselected, exactly as it's done in "icon view". Unfortunately in "list view" when I hit "rename" the whole "filename.extension" is selected. This is a regression from 2.30
Bug still present in 2.31.92
just hit this after upgrading to the ubuntu 10.10 beta; and it's made a lot of work for me :[ (i rename a lot of files)
Hi there, this bug affects me too. The feature of just selecting the filename by default and by hitting F2 two times selecting filename+extension is such a comfortable one!! (also i would love to see it in 10.10 at the releaese.)
OMG! I just tried to rename a file under ubuntu maverick 10.10 and it selects the whole filename (name + extension). this was such a neat feature for me! Can you change it back? Can i configure it the way it was? Please?!

Confirming, this is a regression we should fix.
(In reply to comment #6) > Confirming, this is a regression we should fix. thank you so much!
Thank you too. I'm wondering, what are the odds this bug will be fixed in 2.32? I see the version number for Nautilus on this bug is 2.91, which leads me to believe the bug might only be addressed in Gnome 3.0?
damn it :P

No, the version field reflects the latest Nautilus version in which you can experience the bug, not the target release for the fix (which instead depends on how fast we can manage to fix it).
Hello, here's the patch reverting change for nautilus-2.32.0 with renaming only the filename in listview instead of the whole entry. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4135996/f2-renaming-only-filename-in-listview.diff
thank you!

bugs are such a dry and a matter of fact sort of place, but i am grateful for having this fixed. thank you
This bug is back. In Natty when I hit "rename" the whole "filename.extension" is selected.
over nautlius-elementary it doesn't happen anymore.
