GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 699295
Copy operation will pick up files which were not there when folder was copied
Last modified: 2021-06-18 15:53:34 UTC
Steps to reproduce: Have a test-folder, with two sub-folders, and, inside the first sub-folder, a large-file, which takes more than 20 seconds to copy: test-folder | + sub-folder1 | | | |- large-file | + sub-folder2 Copy test-folder and paste it somewhere. While big-file is being copied, create a new file in sub-folder2. Actual results: The new file will be copied together with sub-folder2. Expected results: The new files is not copied over because it did not exist when I asked nautilus to copy test-folder. I think nautilus should get a list of all items to copy first, and then only copy the items in that list.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version of Files (nautilus), then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
