[Bug 95853] Re: Add an option to get a confirmation dialog before deleting files in Nautilus
I am sorry, but I got tired of this thread. Who do I close the bug (I am the originator)? I am a happy cretin user of Windows (yes, nomnex, you give very bad impression of Linux users, unlike people in Ubuntu forums), so I do some cretin stuff like Silverlight 4 development, VLDB processing and AD management - without any issues.

Re: [Bug 95854] Re: Folder is overwritten with a file with the same name
Daniel, a couple of ideas: 1. Do not allow to overwrite a folder with a file In Unix it is not possible anyway... dhcp1k250:~/Desktop Andrei$ mkdir test dhcp1k250:~/Desktop Andrei$ cd dhcp1k250:~ Andrei$ touch test dhcp1k250:~ Andrei$ cp test Desktop/ cp: cannot overwrite directory Desktop/test with non-directory test Why does Nautilus overwrite the folder? 2. Give an explicit warning: You are overwriting the folder @s with a file @s. All the contents of the folder will be destroyed. Are you sure? It is somewhat Windows-like behaviour, but what the heck? It is data that is being destroyed. And please do not set Importance to Wishlist. I know at least three people that lost some important stuff in this way. (This is a hard way to finally to learn to backup 8-))) On 29/03/07, Daniel Holbach [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What do you suggest? ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Wishlist Assignee: (unassigned) = Ubuntu Desktop Bugs Status: Unconfirmed = Needs Info -- Folder is overwritten with a file with the same name https://launchpad.net/bugs/95854 -- С уважением, Сибиряк -- Folder is overwritten with a file with the same name https://launchpad.net/bugs/95854 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 95853] Delete file in Nautlus - no warning
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus SUMMARY If a file or a folder is selected in Nautilus and you accidently press Delete button, they are moved to the Trash. NO warning is issued (even though in Nautilus Preferences Ask before emptying the Trash or deleting files is selected ) Very annying and dangerious bug to a common user - I deleted very important data without realising then cleaned the Trash, so lost that information. NOTES For example, Konquerer asks you if you want to delete a file or a folder.

[Bug 95854] Re: Folder is overwritten with a file with the same name
I admit - not well-written bug. There is a warning. Unfortunately, the folder with rich contents WILL get replaced by a file if you accept. Behaves differently on Mac OS X and Windows. -- Folder is overwritten with a file with the same name https://launchpad.net/bugs/95854 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
