Title:
gedit doesn't notice that a file has been renamed
Status in Light-Weight Text Editor for Gnome:
Confirmed
Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Binary package hint: gedit
When you edit a file in gedit and the file is renamed, gedit doesn't
notice that the file on disk has disappeared. Instead, when trying to
save a file that has been renamed, a warning should appear, similar to
the yellow warning bar that appears when a file content has been
modified by another program.
Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open a new file in gedit. Save it to ~/foobar
2. Rename the file ~/foobar to ~/foobar.new
3. Modify the file inside gedit (this step can be omitted)
4. Press the Save button
A new file ~/foobar is silently written. No indication is given to the
user that the file was not there when saving.
Expected behavior:
Show a warning that the file has been renamed, moved, or deleted. Ask
the user whether she really wants to save the file under the old name
(to the old location). Better yet, determine what exactly happened to
the file (was it renamed, moved, or deleted). If the file has been
moved or renamed, suggest to save the file in the new location or
under the new name, respectively.
