Public bug reported:
https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/37039
Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
Severity: Normal
Priority: (none set)
Status: Unconfirmed
Description:
If there is a folder "test1" and a file "file1.txt" resides in it. A
symbolic link of that folder, "test2" is made. When both windows are
opened by nautilus, and the file copied from the symbolic link "test2"
is pasted into the actual "test1" directory, it asks for confirmation on
whether to replace the file and then DELETES the file. File is gone,
lost forever!
Similar command if executed at the console gives the following, which is
CORRECT
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ ls
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ mkdir test1
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ cd test1/
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/test1$ ls
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/test1$ echo "test data" > file1.txt
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/test1$ ls -l
total 4
-rw-r--r-- 1 vivek vivek 10 2006-03-28 23:15 file1.txt
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/test1$ cd ..
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ ln -s test1 test2
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ ls -ld test*
drwxr-xr-x 2 vivek vivek 4096 2006-03-28 23:15 test1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 vivek vivek 5 2006-03-28 23:15 test2 -> test1
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ cd test2
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/test2$ ls
file1.txt
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/test2$ cp file1.txt ../test1/file1.txt
cp: `file1.txt' and `../test1/file1.txt' are the same file
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/test2$
HOWEVER, if the file is copied using Nautilus from test2 symbolic link and
pasted into test1, it gets deleted.
