Public bug reported: Nautilus allows to rename any generic file, including the extension part. For example, I can rename "Image.jpeg" to "Image.jpg" or even "Image.png" which is not right, but still possible.
Dekstop files are different. If I try to rename firefox.desktop to firefox.txt in order to edit this file manually, I can't do so, because nautilus always add desktop extension. If I accidentially rename regular file to a desktop file, I can't rename it back, because Nautilus throw an error, that this desktop file has a wrong format (obviously because it is not a desktop file). ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1786233 Title: Can't rename a desktop file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1786233/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
