Binary package hint: nautilus
1) lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch)
Release: 15.04
2) apt-cache policy nautilus
nautilus:
Installed: 1:3.14.2-0ubuntu2
Candidate: 1:3.14.2-0ubuntu2
Version table:
*** 1:3.14.2-0ubuntu2 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
3) What is expected to happen is when one executes the following in a terminal:
cd ~/Desktop
mkdir test
cd
touch test
then uses Nautilus to copy the file test to the Desktop, it does not allow
this, just like it won't when using cp in a terminal:
cp test Desktop/
sudo cp test Desktop/
cp: cannot overwrite directory ‘Desktop/test’ with non-directory
or if one was using Windows.
4) What happens instead is one gets a prompt noting:
File Conflict
Replace folder "test"?
A folder with the same name already exists on "desktop".
Replacing it will remove all files in the folder.
Select a new name for the destination
Apply this action to all files
Cancel Skip Replace
and if one accidentally hit the button Replace, the folder with all of
its contents are permanently deleted, and replaced with the file.
