Description Martin Schuppert 2013-09-25 08:32:44 UTC 
Description of problem:

When use "Connect to server" in Nautilus Configure and configure a webdav share it is not possible to rename files or folders.

The following messages will be displayed:
"The item could not be renamed. Sorry, could not rename "dir1" to "dir2": The specified location is not mounted".

"The item could not be renamed. Sorry, could not rename "file1" to "file2": The specified location is not mounted".


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
* RHEL 6.4
* gvfs-1.4.3-15.el6.x86_64 ( webdav backend )
* nautilus-2.28.4-19.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:

3. create a file/directory
4. rename file/directory which results in an error message

Actual results:

"The item could not be renamed. Sorry, could not rename "file1" to "file2": The specified location is not mounted".

Solved upstream:
The problem here was that the path the backend supplied back to the client was
relative to the mount_prefix of the mount; so the client needs to resolve that
path and append the mount_prefix before creating a new GDaemonFile with the new
path.

Fixed on master with the following commit:
commit d4049d3ac0741c3700a029a24c869dfafd840dc2
Author: Christian Kellner <gicmo>

    daemonfile: Re-root the path in set_display_name ()

    The path we get as a result of a set_display_name operation has to be
    re-rooted with the mount_prefix of the specific mount.
    This fixes the "Location not mounted" error that we currently get for
    e.g. WebDAV mounts with a mount_prefix after renaming of files.
