Metadata info may be corrupt on UI when accessing Shared With Me files

[Natalia Bidart]

It seems to be displaying metadata for formerly opened files. Maybe something is wrong with symlinks?

This is caused by the fact that Shared With Me is a symlink. One solution is to pass the os.path.realpath of the path. This can be done in the magicicada level, or in SyncDaemon. I think we have to do it in the lower layer.

Anyways, I've tried this and the syncdaemon service doesn't answer the request. As per logs:

2010-08-21 13:21:27,323 - ubuntuone.SyncDaemon.DBus - DEBUG - get_metadata by path: dbus.String(u'/home/nessita/.local/share/ubuntuone/shares/Canonical from System User/u1prefs.png')

Magicicada code is fixed and a branch is proposed.

Anyways, querying underlying syncdaemon for this info fails, no matter if the path is realpath or not:

> /home/nessita/canonical/ubuntuone-client/trunk/ubuntuone/syncdaemon/dbus_interface.py(969)get_metadata()
-> mdobj = self.fs_manager.get_by_path(path.encode('utf-8'))
(Pdb) n
KeyError: ('/home/nessita/Ubuntu One/Shared With Me/nessita from Matt Griffin/storage_usage.ods',)

> /home/nessita/canonical/ubuntuone-client/trunk/ubuntuone/syncdaemon/dbus_interface.py(969)get_metadata()

(Pdb) n
