User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20060601 Firefox/2.0 (Ubuntu-edgy) Build Identifier: situation: let's say that in ~/foo directory i have some broken symlink... (Imagine that i run in Terminal ln -s /media/dvd/my_good_file.foo ~/foo/my_good_symlink.foo and create a symlink... then i unmount the DVD, voilà broken links ;) problem: when double click on ~/foo directory to open it, broken symlinks icons (red cross icon) disappear immediatly from the dir content, like a magic trick ;) the broken links still remain in filesystem (symply are not displayed by Thunar) if you press F5 on the keyb to refresh the view... it will happen again!!! that way the user can't check out broken symlinks... thanks Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.create a symlink and than brake it (removing the symlink target) 2.open, in thunar, the dir containig the broken symlink 3. Actual Results: During the dir opening, you will see brokenlinks_icons rapidly disappera form the dir content!! Expected Results: I would be better for the user to be able to see all filesystem content In older releases, as i might remember, the trick didn't appen
That sounds a lot like you have FAM/Gamin running and for some reason, it tells Thunar that the file was deleted. Try without FAM/Gamin.
tanks for the reply... i' didn't understand... what is FAM/Gamin?? anyway... it is not a real problem for me... I simply wanted to notify what it seemed a bug to me ;) if you now that this strange behaviour doesn't exist in the last version of XFCE, there's no any fear nor problem!!! ;) bye bye, Claudio
Yes, I saw that i have the gamin package installed on the system /usr/lib/gamin/gam_server I don't know if enabled or not, but this is not important... The important thing is that is not a XFCE bug, so thanks again Claudio
OHhhhhhh yes!! I killed the daemon of gamin and now all works well!!! thanks a lot and excuse me for too much replies in a few minutes... ciao!!!
i put this bug in "fixed" status
You should file a bug report to Gamin, so this issue can be fixed.
