Description J 2020-12-10 16:33:36 UTC

Description of problem:
If I attempt to create a bookmark to a folder in a Samba share, the created bookmark is invalid. For example, if I connect to smb://mySambaServer and want to create a bookmark to a directory called myDirectory on mySambaServer, dragging the folder to the "New Bookmark" area of the left side bar creates a bookmark to smb://mySambaServer/._myDirectory, which is invalid.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.28.1-12

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In Nautilus, go to "Other Locations"
2. In the "Enter server address..." URL bar, enter the Samba server address and click Connect.
3. Attempt to drag any folder from the file list to the left bar and create a new bookmark.

Actual results:
Bookmark is created with "._" prepended to the directory name

Expected results:
Bookmark is created with nothing prepended to the directory name

Additional info:
Manually creating the bookmark by adding an entry to ~/.config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks adds the bookmark correctly.

Thanks for your issue, I can reproduce it with Nautilus 3.28.1-14. It seems that it has been fixed upstream as a side-effect of https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/merge_requests/212. However, this change caused some follow-up issues if I recall correctly, so it needs to be carefully investigated before backporting...

Comment 2 Ondrej Holy 2020-12-16 16:03:01 UTC

After some investigation, the fix looks safe to me, so it would be nice to backport it.

While I was unable the reproduce the problem with my samba setup on the original version, the problem does not appear with the fix either. The patches have been correctly applied. Verifying (as sanity only).
