Description of problem: When making symbolic links to files, Nautilus prepends "Link to" to the name of the original file. The original filenames are good as they are and I can recognize symbolic links by their arrow corner symbol. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nautilus-2.22.2-7.fc9.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make a symbolic link from one file in another folder. Actual results: Name of the symbolic link is "Link to <original file name>" Expected results: I'd like to switch back to the old behaviour, where the symlink filename was the same as the original file (if no other file of that name existed).
Created attachment 306187 [details] Patch that reverts to the old behaviour This patch reverts to the behaviour Nautilus had until Fedora 8 (hard-coded). To make this configurable, simply change the start value of "count" from 0 to 1 in libnautilus-private/nautilus-file-operations.c:link_to() if a suitable configuration option is (un)set.
Sounds right to me, we should fix this upstream, though.

this issue has been fixed upstream
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
