Renaming folder whose name has a "." considers the "." as file extension separator
Last modified: 2016-11-04 11:22:12 UTC
Created attachment 339110 [details] Screen shot showing the part of name before "." selected When trying to rename a folder that has a "." in the middle of it's name, nautilus considers the "." as a file extension separator and selects only the portion of the name before the "." (see attached screen shot) for replacing. As folders don't have file extensions it would be better if it selected the whole name instead of the portion of the name before the last ".". This is not the case when the "." is in the beginning of the name (hidden folder) or in the end of the name. Steps to reproduce ================== 1. Create a folder with a "." in the middle of the name 2. Select the folder and click 'F2' / select rename option from context menu. Expected behaviour ================== Complete file name is selected for replacement Actual behaviour ================ Only the portion of the name before the last "." is selected for replacement
