With the updated version everything works fine, except for the case of browsing into /scratch on a remote server. I just renamed a file on such a location (/scratch on a remote server) and it instantly turned into a broken symbolic link (and I lost 5 GB of very precious data!!) I am using nautilus 3.4.2
I hope there is fix around it... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1090344 Title: Nautilus creates broken symbolic links to files located on GVFS mounts Status in Nautilus: Invalid Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “nautilus” source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in “nautilus” source package in Quantal: Fix Released Bug description: 1.
