I tried to replicate the problem several times with different systems (Thankfully, I have three laptops with three different OS installed.), and concluded that the symptom doesn't need to be provoked with macOS. I can reproduce the error with these steps with the files from any OS.
1) Write a certain file through the samba protocol to the shared folder. 2) Open the shared folder in ubuntu system and move the file to the my home folder. (Don't move the file through samba, please move the file locally.) 3) 'Copy' the file to the shared folder. (Still, don't use samba for this process. Interestingly, simply moving the file to the shared folder did not reproduce the error. Only copying works.) 4) Now open the shared folder through samba. The file is now showing as folder, or sometimes not showing at all. I have Parallels installed in my macOS, and I tried to figure out whether I can reproduce this problem with fresh-installed ubuntu in virtual machine, (Of course, fully updated via apt-get update/upgrade before doing everything.) and it was successful. I'll upload the instruction docx file including some screenshots. I'll upload more log files when I'm ready. ** Attachment added: "Samba2.docx" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1872476/+attachment/5442812/+files/Samba2.docx -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1872476 Title: Shared files are shown as folders To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1872476/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
