Public bug reported:
Spatial mode in Nautilus is, in my opinion, a very user-friendly way to
manage files. However, today I noticed that it seems to store
size/position information seperately for a symbolic link and its target.
Reproduce like this:
- Switch Nautilus to spatial mode. (If you haven't already)
- Open a folder of your choice and move/resize its window to whatever you want.
- Create a symlink to it by dragging it using the middle mouse button and then
choosing the appropriate option (called "Verknüpfung erstellen" in the German
locale, idk about others).
- Open that symlink.
You'll see that this won't open at the size/position you just moved the
symlink's target to. Please fix this - having ~/Downloads and a symlink
to it ~/Desktop/Downloads at different positions is very annoying and
kind of defeats the purpose of spatial mode - keeping each folder at
where you moved it.
I'm using Ubuntu 8.04.
