From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050719 Epiphany/1.6.5 Description of problem: This is potentially serious since the user may delete files because Gnome tells him that the files are in a different place to where they really are. I have a mounted usb drive. The drive contains backups. $ ls -la /media/usbdisk/Folder/Desktop drwxr-xr-x 2 user user 4096 Sep 10 12:16 . drwxrwx--- 55 user user 4096 Sep 10 12:23 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 user user 69 Sep 10 12:36 .directory lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user 18 Sep 10 12:45 Downloads -> /home/user/Downloads In nautilus, I go to /media/usbdisk/Folder/Desktop Nautilus then shows me that I am at /media/usbdisk/Folder/Desktop/Downloads, when I am really at /home/user/Downloads (and nautilus shows me the contents of /home/user/Downloads) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: x Additional info:
This is an old discussion in the nautilus developer community, both sides have their issues, but the current behaviour is what was decided on.
A bit like how going to "Computer", then selecting a drive, then going up a level takes to you /media/. The users don't have a clue! Please can you provide a link to the discussion?
