Summary: Cannot copy to a directory called "*" Project: GNU Midnight Commander Submitted by: rillig Submitted on: Mit 18.05.2005 um 01:56 Category: Core Severity: 3 - Normal Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Open/Closed: Open Release: current (CVS or snapshot) Platform Version: All _______________________________________________________ Details: To reproduce this, do the following: (on one panel) mkdir "*" chdir "*" (on the other panel) select something copy... enter This results in an error message: `/tmp/abc/foo.b' and `/tmp/abc/foo.b' are the same file. Even escaping does not work---I tried to copy to /tmp/abc/\*, but another error message appears: Cannot overwrite directory "/tmp/abc/*" File exists (17) To fix this, we need a simple specification about how pathnames are interpreted (including @ and # chars) and then we need to implement that specification. Anything else will continue the inconsistencies we already have today. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=13112> _______________________________________________ Nachricht geschickt von/durch Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
