selector and Save.
3.

What version of gamin do you have installed ?

Comment 3 Andrew 2004-09-28 13:09:04 UTC
gamin-0.0.10-1, but running up2date as I type.

Comment 4 Andrew 2004-09-28 13:10:55 UTC
Also, I have a similar problem with the new "usbdisk" icon not
appearing on the desktop when my usb key is inserted.  Mount confirms
that it does mount /dev/sda1 to /media/usbdisk.  Just so you know...

  Well gam_server did its job. it did send the Created event with
the right filename to the application !
  This should be available as a FAMEvent to the application as a
newly created file. 

  Can you run gthumb with GAM_DEBUG defined and see if the gamin
library events are reveived. They should be received, the socket
should be monitored as part of the application event loop, if it
doesn't then there is a bug above gamin, possibly in the gnome-vfs
layer.

Comment 7 sangu 2004-10-02 01:25:30 UTC

Comment 8 Daniel Veillard 2004-10-02 20:39:02 UTC
I have reproduced the problem. I know why it occurs now, so I 
expect top be able to get a fix over the week-end. I have enough
debug informations now ;-)

Comment 10 Daniel Veillard 2004-10-03 18:51:41 UTC
I pushed gamin-0.0.14 to rawhide, it should show up this week,
you can grab it from 
  http://www.gnome.org/~veillard/gamin/downloads.html

I tried and for me it fixes the issue.

Daniel

Comment 11 sangu 2004-10-04 02:08:34 UTC
Daniel : This problem still does happen in my linux box.

gamin-0.0.14-1, gnome-vfs2-2.8.1-5, nautilus-2.8.0-1

Comment 12 Daniel Veillard 2004-10-04 13:53:04 UTC
I was able to reproduce the bug described in the initial comment
when the bug was oppened. I fixed that bug. 
I see no relationship between the original bug and the 2
screenshot you provided in comment #11, I have no idea what
they are supposed to illustrate.
If you have a separate problem, open a bug and report how to reproduce
it. For me the bug reported is fixed in 0.0.14.

Daniel

Comment 13 sangu 2004-10-04 14:13:27 UTC

Like screenshot, image file is seen in A folder of nautilus, but
gthumb isn't.

So reflesh (ctrl+r) in gthumb or nautilus, then image file appear in
gthumb.

Thumbnail image isn't sometimes updated like gamin-0.0.14-2.png.

Comment 15 Juan C Nuno 2005-02-10 08:38:11 UTC
The bug I filed this morning was just marked a dup of this one.  I
read the comments on this one, did a rpm -q gamin, and I got
gamin-0.0.17-1.FC3.  So shouldn't this be fixed on my system?  It's
not, you know.


Comment 16 sangu 2005-02-11 01:13:46 UTC
Please See : http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165955

gamin version is 0.0.23-1.

This problem still happens.

Comment 17 sangu 2005-02-13 04:23:42 UTC
bug 127612 bug 130859 bug 139116 bug 143679 bug 147195

This bugs seem to see the same problem.

Comment 18 Juan C Nuno 2005-02-18 23:26:49 UTC
[nuno@swing ~]$ rpm -q gamin
gamin-0.0.24-1.FC3

And it's still broken.  Just now I downloaded an xorg.conf using Firefox and I
had to do a Ctrl+R to see it on the desktop.


Comment 19 Daniel Veillard 2005-02-19 11:52:24 UTC
That works for me. With 0.0.24 I can't reproduce the bug anymore.
Make sure your killed all gam_servers or restarted the session.

Daniel

Comment 20 Juan C Nuno 2005-02-19 17:33:47 UTC
Well, I'm merely a Linux newbie, so I don't know how to "kill all my
gam_servers" or "restart my session."  So I just rebooted.  And the problem is
still there.  I edited a Java source file with gedit, compiled it from the
command line with javac, and neither the source file nor the class file showed
up on the desktop.  A Ctrl+R revealed them both.

[nuno@redux-ii ~]$ rpm -q gamin
gamin-0.0.24-1.FC3

This problem is still there for me.  And I have to say it's the most annoying
one by far.

Not that all your hard work isn't appreciated guys, because I do.  I write this
bug report not to hate, but only to love.
