Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
1. Create a folder 'test'. Initialise it by copying several files into it.
(They should ideally be large files, eg 100 MB or more, or the operation occurs
too quickly to observe the problem.)
2. Select the files in the folder and choose copy and then paste.
3. While the copy operation is in progress, renamed the containing
folder 'test' to 'test1'.
4. The file currently being copied completes, and then the 'Copying...'
window disappears. There is no indication that the other files failed to
copy.
This also occurs during a move operation, ie between different physical
drives because otherwise the move operation is too fast for you to
rename the containing folder. In this case, none of the original files
are removed at step 4 even though some of them may be 'moved'.
Although no data loss is involved, there should really be an indication
to the user that the operation failed. At the moment it seems as though
everything has completed successfully.
I reproduced this in the latest Ubuntu 7.10, using nautilus version
1:2.20.0-0ubuntu7.
