"File conflict" dialog shows wrong size for symbolic links
Affected version
- Nightly flatpak: Can't test it
- Other: archlinux nautilus-3.36.3-1
- Other: ubuntu eoan nautilus (1:3.34.1-1ubuntu1)
Steps to reproduce
- copy a symbolic link to a folder which already contains a file with that name
- the popup dialog that informs you that there is already a file with that name shows the size of the links target and does not indicate that you are copying a link
- if you click yes the symbolic link is copied but not the link target
Current behavior
If you have the following files:
Folder1/some_file -> some_other_file (this is a symbolic link)
Folder2/some_file
If you copy Folder1/some_file to Folder2 the "File conflict" dialog shows the file size for some_other_file and does not indicate in any way that only the link will be copied.
I think this is misleading and should be changed
Expected behavior
- copy a symbolic link to a folder which already contains a file with that name
- the popup dialog that informs you that there is already a file with that name shows the size of the link itself and maybe indicate that you are copying a link
- if you click yes the symbolic link is copied but not the link target
