can't delete symlink to other filesystem
Last modified: 2015-03-03 17:51:42 EST
Created attachment 436691 [details] patch based on upstream code Please describe the problem: Nautilus can't delete a symlink to a folder which is on another filesystem Steps to reproduce: 1. open in nautilus /mnt/somethink-mounted 2. open your home in another nautilus 3. create a symlink of /mnt/somethink-mounted in your home 4. try to delete the link Actual results: first i've got a message like "can't delete other filesystem" but now when I try to reproduce, delete (or "moving to trash") just do nothing. symlink isn't deleted and nautilus doesn't send any error. Expected results: symlink shoud be deleted Does this happen every time? yes Additional information: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=312506
Confirming, works fine with the patch attached. Seems to fix also bug 598486.
