 Posted: Fri Mar 12, 2010 3:12 pm Post subject: Nautilus metafiles |
 |
|
After update to nautilus 2.28.4 (using Debian squeeze) I got the problem: all the information, early stored in ~/.nautilus/metafiles/* are completely ignored by Nautilus: it doesn't save desktop icons positions or file sorting preferences for individual directories. I have installed the same Debian distribution on virtual machine and I have seen: there is no ~/.nautilus/metafiles at all, but information described above is written and red correctly. I understand it's update issue, so my question is:
where nautilus 2.28.4 strores information early stored in ~/.nautilus/metafiles/* ? I found this promise:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=518587, but there is no ~/.config/nautilus when 2.28.4 is installed.
Thanks a lot. |

What is purpose of /usr/lib/nautilus/nautilus-convert-metadata ? I tryed to launch it; it processes files from ~/.nautilus/metafiles, and all of them processed with error like this:
| Code: | | error setting info for file:///home/lilovip/Desktop/iceweasel.desktop: DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Failed: ?????????? ?????????? ???? ?????????? |
I don't know reason of query marks, but I tryed launch /usr/lib/nautilus/nautilus-convert-metadata from another tty (Ctrl+Alt+F2), so all the results like this:
| Code: | | error setting info for file:///home/lilovip/Desktop/iceweasel.desktop: Setting attribute metadata::icon-scale not supported |
or like this:
| Code: | | error setting info for file:///mnt/wd/_OLD/Downloads: Setting attribute metadata::nautilus-list-view-sort-column not supported |
May be errors above are reason of my problem? |

I have solved my problem.
I found this in nautilus sources:
| Quote: | Major changes in 2.27.91 are:
* Migrate old-style nautilus metadata to gvfs metadata |
gvfs metadata is stored here in binary (UNIX == text format conf files?) format: ~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata/*
In my case, file ~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata/home, which stores information described in my first post, was size 0 for any strange reason (rights were correct). I deleted it; it was created suddenly by some magic power (gvfs deamon I think) with size != 0. Now I haven't any troubles with Nautilus.
If you have got the same problem, please, mail me: lilovil@gmail.com and I'll make bugreport. |
