From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: When saving files to the desktop the files are not visible once the save is completed (not visible on the desktop and not visible in the desktop directory in my home directory). This occurs whether I am using a local program (i.e. THE GIMP) or saving programs/images from the internet via a browser. The workaround is to immediately browse to my Home folder, browse to the desktop folder and select view->reload. All files instantly become visible on the desktop and in the desktop directory. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-desktop-2.8.0-3 kernel-2.6.10-1.760_FC3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open any program which allows you to create(edit) something 2. Create the file 3. Save file to desktop Actual Results: File is not visible on the desktop or in the desktop folder in users home directory Expected Results: File is visible on the desktop and appears in the desktop folder in the users home directory. Additional info:
duplicate of bug 133665 ? But this problem still happens in Fedora rawhide's GNOME 2.10 Beta.
Should be fixed in 0.0.24/0.0.25 now, in rawhide. Daniel
This happens with 0.26 too. I have to press Ctrl+R while focus in on the Nautilus background to get updates.
To reproduce I simply copy files to the desktop; sometimes it takes a while to trigger though.
*** Bug 162604 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I have noticed this problem too, but it usually takes a restart of gnome for the file to show up for me. Reloading the window in Nautilus doesn't make the file appear in most cases.
Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you!
Likely fixed by now (i haven't seen it). Closing. If you see this again in FC5/rawhide, open a new bug.
