GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 684811
Double clicking on folder only shows subdirectories
Last modified: 2018-07-01 08:56:54 UTC
When clicking on a folder in the folder view, the images in the corresponding directory and its subdirectories should be shown. However, due to a bug explained below, only the images in the subdirectories are shown. If for example the library contains /foo/x.jpg /foo/bar/y.jpg double clicking the entry for /foo/ only shows y.jpg, although x.jpg should also be shown. The problem seems to be that the database stores "file:///foo" as base_uri, but the query is done using "file:///foo/%" with a slash at the end of the path. I think always adding a trailing "/" for base_uri would solve this problem, as this representation corresponds to Uri.ToString(). Removing the additional "/" in the query could create problems with for example /foo/bar/ and /foo/barbaz/. Then clicking /foo/bar/ would also return images in /foo/barbaz/.
f-spot is not under active development anymore, has not seen code changes for five years, and saw its last tarball release in the year 2010. Its codebase has been archived: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/f-spot/commits/master Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
