I'm not sure if this is a fix or not, but I can not reproduce with
Nautilus 2.21.6 on Hardy Alpha. When moving the file into the directory
of the folder with the same name, you first receive the
replace/skip/cancel dialog:
"A folder named "Videos" already exists. Do you want to replace
it?
The folder already exists in "/home/ubuntu". Replacing it will
remove all files in the folder."
Then if you ok replacing the folder, you receive the following error and
the operation is canceled.
"Error while moving.
Error opening directory '/home/ubuntu/Desktop/Videos': Not a
directory"
As for the first dialog, it seems like a pretty clear warning, but as we
know users will often click right through those with out reading.
As for the error message, I'm not sure if it was related or a separate
issue. Any one else try this on Hardy?
