Baobab should probably ignore ~/.gvfs when scanning home folder

[Jens Askengren]

Binary package hint: baobab

I have mounted some sftp shares using nautilus. The shares can be accessed as subdirectories of ~/.gvfs for compatibility with non gvfs applications.

When I choose to "Scan Home" in Baobab, ~/.gvfs is included by default, witch makes the scan take a very long time, and the result is not really what I expect.

I think ~/.gvfs should be ignored by default.

Baobab 2.20.0.1-1ubuntu5 from Ubuntu 8.04

You can uncheck .gvfs partition in Preferences menu. This will avoid baobab
scanning it. If you need to scan remote volumes, you can use the Remote connect
dialog.

I can confirm this default setting on baobab 2.20.0.1.

IMHO having his remote shares scanned is not the default behaviour the end-user expect to get, as baobab is mostly used to know which directory to delete in order to save space in his /home partition.

The bug is fixed upstream. It will be included in next major release.

Baobab is part of gnome-utils, changing sourcepackage. Also marking Fix Committed since fix is upstream.
