nautilus rename ctrl+c ctrl+v inserts path of file

[chr.pfeiffer]

Binary package hint: nautilus

In Ubuntu maverick (development branch) with nautilus (1:2.31.6-0ubuntu3.1) when trying to rename a file after another file (subtitle file should have the same name except the extension) I F2 (rename) and copy with ctrl-c the filename then I F2 (rename) the other file and ctrl-v (paste) the name from the first file.

What happens is the copying of the first file because ctrl-c copied the full pathname of the first file, not the actual filename.
Instead of trying to rename after the copied text you get copies of the files!

this happened in "normal" nautilus but also in elementary/ppa.

I tried, and cannot replicate this bug (same Nautilus version).

Hi Alexander,

thanks for response. I made a short desktop recording of file renaming:

1) I F2 to copy the name of the first file
2) as shown in the gedit window it copies the full path, could come in handy but wasnt expected
3) I go F2 on the file I want to rename
4) I want the copied filename of the first inserted in the file im gonna be renaming
5) No response, just after a while you see the first file getting copied by typing in ctrl-v

hope that helps,

thanks,
christoph

nautilus (1:2.31.92-0ubuntu1) maverick; urgency=low

  * New upstream version:
    - String fixes for the file conflict dialog
    - Add a border around infobars
    - Fix a regression when copy/pasting in list view (lp: #617967)
    - Re-use libunique instead of GApplication
    - Drop GDK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED cflag, as we don't want to cope with
      recent GDK 2.22 deprecations for the 2.32 branch
  * debian/control.in:
    - build-depends on libunique-dev
  * debian/patches/03_deprecated.patch:
    - dropped, upstream is doing that so it's not required
