[Lubuntu-desktop] pcmanfm bug?
Hello, I (sadly) noticed a problem on pcmanfm. Here you can find the discussion on ubuntuforums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1817738 The main problem is that the command paste is active on the context-menu when you right-click on a folder on which you don't have write permission. This create a big problem when trying to cutpaste any folder to a destination folder on a usb drive on which you don't have write permissions: the original folder(s) is(are) lost! As explained in the discussion this happens only trying to cutpaste folders to a usb folder without write permission. As explained in the discussion here's a way to produce the error: ### 1. create a folder on your desktop for example ~/Desktop/test/ 2. mount an external usb on which there's a folder on which you don't have write permission for example /media/usbdisk/nowrite/ root:root 755 3. cut your folder on the desktop paste it on the usb folder using the gui, which simply means: - right-click on the folder test on your desktop and choose cut - use your filemanager to go to the usb folder and right-click on it and choose past 4. A window with the progress bar will open with an error on it saying test: Error creating directory: permission denied After that the original folder test on the desktop disappears, and of course there's no copy on the target folder. As a consequence you loose your original folder and all data in it! The original folder is removed while the error window is shown, the removing process doesn't wait for the user to press the close button on that window. ### Is this a bug? ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Never noticed that before. I always open pcmanfm as normal and go to the Tools menu if I require 'root' access. Must not click Send before I've finished writing.

Anyway is this a recent bug or was it in older versions? -- Yorvyk ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
