Daniel, a couple of ideas: 1. Do not allow to overwrite a folder with a file
In Unix it is not possible anyway... dhcp1k250:~/Desktop Andrei$ mkdir test dhcp1k250:~/Desktop Andrei$ cd dhcp1k250:~ Andrei$ touch test dhcp1k250:~ Andrei$ cp test Desktop/ cp: cannot overwrite directory Desktop/test with non-directory test Why does Nautilus overwrite the folder? 2. Give an explicit warning: "You are overwriting the folder @s with a file @s. All the contents of the folder will be destroyed. Are you sure?" It is somewhat Windows-like behaviour, but what the heck? It is data that is being destroyed. And please do not set Importance to Wishlist. I know at least three people that lost some important stuff in this way. (This is a hard way to finally to learn to backup 8-))) On 29/03/07, Daniel Holbach <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > What do you suggest? > > ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) > Importance: Undecided => Wishlist > Assignee: (unassigned) => Ubuntu Desktop Bugs > Status: Unconfirmed => Needs Info > > -- > Folder is overwritten with a file with the same name > https://launchpad.net/bugs/95854 > -- С уважением, Сибиряк -- Folder is overwritten with a file with the same name https://launchpad.net/bugs/95854 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
