Reading the info --> facepalm! "Is that drive formatted fat or ext? If it is formatted fat16 or fat32, it will not see the names as different, since that file system does not recognize such differences."
Shure this is right! Would it be possible to fire/pop up a little notice about this behavior cause - most of the LInux users do not use FAT16/FAT32 formated drives? - would be also irritated about this... Could be don if the drive is mounted/automounted in Gnome Commander? For all others: Just change the name a bit (by adding a "1" in first place or something) and THEN change the misspelling and delete also the added "1"... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1386838 Title: *renaming* of files on FAT32 formated external drives *not* possible To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunar/+bug/1386838/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
