[Bug 760056] Can't copy/move files to the root of a mounted FAT usb drive using drag & drop to the tree view in Nautilus

 

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be
reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the stable
release - Oneiric Ocelot. It would help us greatly if you could test
with it so we can work on getting it fixed. You can find out more about
it at http://www.ubuntu.com/download . Thanks again and we appreciate
your help.

Title:
  Can't copy/move files to the root of a mounted FAT usb drive using
  drag & drop to the tree view in Nautilus

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  1) $ lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu Natty (development branch)
  Release:	11.04

  (But if I recall correctly, it was also an issue in Maverick and
  earlier releases)

  2) $ apt-cache policy nautilus
  nautilus:
    Installed: 1:2.32.2.1-0ubuntu13
    Candidate: 1:2.32.2.1-0ubuntu13
    Version table:
   *** 1:2.32.2.1-0ubuntu13 0
          500 http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  3) I connected a USB drive in my computer that has just been formatted
  as FAT using Ubuntu. Then I open Nautilus, show the Tree view in the
  left column, open some folder and try do drag & drop a file from the
  opened folder to the item corresponding to the USB drive in the Tree
  view. I expected Nautilus to allow me to copy or move a file like
  this.

  4) Instead, Nautilus doesn't allow this. If I drag & drop over any
  other item in the Tree view it works (including sub folders of the USB
  drive). Over the root of the USB drive it doesn't. If I change from
  the Tree view to the Places view, I can drag & drop over the USB drive
  without a problem.
