Ubuntu
nautilus package

file deleted from different location

Asked by Kundan Kumar

The description of situation
Nautilus was open, then I connected my phone in storage mode, then opened the phone directory in tab of same nautilus window
opened another tab with my Music folder
in the first tab I copied some images and pasted in phone memory

Problem 1: instead of copying to phone memory the images were duplicated in same image directory.
Problem 2: when I tried to delete those duplicate images after selecting them. I used Shift+Del to delete those duplicate files. it deleted my whole Music directory contents :(. now I don't have my saved tracks.

I have noticed this copy and move problem while I insert any USB Drive and open directory in tab. I think this happens only when you have running nautilus window and then you open a new inserted USB Drive contents in new tab.

Please fix this issue if this is a BUG. and if its not a BUG please tell me how to solve this. I lost my all Mp3 files now I don't have my Music this made me hate nautilus/Ubuntu for the first time. as this kind of thing never happened on windows atleast
