elusian Are you fully up-to-date? That should've been fixed in the last round of updates (and works fine for me). Assuming you're talking about the issue where it automatically enters the folder you're trying to drop a file on.

    Some things that should be fixed after the next sync (and I think I forgot to notify people about some previous fixes, but you probably noticed yourself):

    Sebastian After the latest glib2 updates I can no longer reproduce the issue with gnome-calendar. So hopefully this means it's fixed (btw, maybe this also takes care of the Nautilus Favorites doubling issue? I haven't checked that one).

    @infinitymdm Seems like we finally have a fix for the Nautilus crash on renaming. The issue was in libgtk-4. With the patch I can no longer reproduce the crash. If it still happens for you (after the update and a reboot/relog), please tell me, thanks!

        Staudey I can confirm that the gnome calendar-bug where events were shown multiple times in sidebar and in week-view is gone. I can also confirm that renaming files in nautilus finally works again.
        Concerning the Nautilus Favorites doubling issue: that one persists. Though it has changed a little bit and this I would say at least a week ago.
        Files in favourite-directory get still visually displayed multiple times according to the number of open nautilus instances with open favourite-directory as I described first.
        So if you have 4 nautilus instances showing favourite-directory running the instance you started first shows each file 4 times and the last started instance shows each file 1 time, the instances in between show each file accordingly 2 and 3 times.
        What is new is: all instances except the first started one now also show "as first file" in the directory what appears to be a textfile. At leat it has the logo of a textfile. But this file has no filename. Only the logo is displayed. And this nameless "file" gets displayed twice in all nautilus instances except the first started one. The file-properties claim that this file is a directory. If you click on this file for opening it, all running nautilus instances crash.

        Now that renaming in nautilus works again I have also noticed the following: Open nautilus and go to favourite-directory. Now rename any file in favourite-directory. The file you just renamed, and only this one, now gets displayed twice in favourite-directory.
        Edit: actually that is not quite true: after renaming the renamed file does get shown twice, but once with old and once with new filename. After hitting F5 for refresh, the duplicate with old filename disappears.

            Sebastian I digged a little bit deeper in the Nautilus Favorites doubling issue.
            Some of my files I keep in an encfs encrypted directory. I realized that after mounting this encfs encrypted directory, an aditional file showed up in the favourites directory. In other words: I have a file marked as favourite in my encfs encrypted directory. This file only shows up in favourites directory, when the encyrpted directory is mounted. Thats the way it should be, I guess. But i got curious. So I opened another instance of nautilus and navigated to the favourites directory: now this "nameless textfile" I described in the previous post only appeared once.
            Theses "nameless textfiles" are files, that are marked as favourite, but which are not availabe to the system.
            I checked this by marking another file in the encfs encrypted directory as favourite and unmounting the directory.
            After starting several nautilus instances and navigate all of them to the favourite directory, the "nameless textfile" now got shown 3 times, symbolizing the 3 as fvourite marked files which were not available.

            Further I noticed that after unmounting the encfs encrypted directory, its as favourite marked files "stayed" in the favourite directory, without being able to open them, off course. Even after hitting F5 for refresh or closing and restarting nautilus, these files were still shown in the favourites directory. After killing nautillus, they were out of the favourites directory.

              7 days later

              Staudey I encounter again the gnome calendar-bug where events are shown multiple times in sidebar and in week-view. This happens by either clicking on any date in month view or after restarting gnome-calendar.

                  i just discovered that you can right-click copy a file(or several), and then right-click 'paste as link' in another dir. i guess that will suffice, and one of my biggest problems with nautilus43 solved.
                  maybe that function has always been there, i dont know

                      Sebastian Unfortunately I could no longer reproduce that issue. @algent also updated gnome-calendar to 43.1 today, so maybe that update will somehow fix things again for you (changelog only mentions fixes to "recurrent events" though)

                      Regarding your other issues, I updated nautilus to 43.1 recently, which contains many, many bugfixes, but I'm not 100% sure if any of those apply to your particular problems.
                      Best to give everything a try after the next sync again.

                        Until the crashes with Nautilus are fixed I was maybe looking to replace Nautilus with Caja, but when I tried to install it it attempted to pull in mate-desktop as a dependency, is that really worth it for just 1 app? (sorry to "me too!" but it isn't Solus specific it's any distro using Nautilus 43, Show Hidden Files may as well be a killswitch)

                          odat4 Yes, as it depends on mate-desktop

                              [deleted] (I didn't specify, I use Budgie) I just don't like the idea of pulling in another DE's assets just for one thing. I'm familiar with this from Arch, installing budgie-desktop also gives you a GNOME session..I prefer to keep things vanilla..so I guess I'm just gonna ride out the Nautilus bugs

                                  odat4 mate-desktop is a library that is needed for Caja to function. It's not pulled in just for fun.

                                    @Staudey you don't get enough thanks for staying on top of this, so thank you. I've not seen your comprehensive edited update lately.
                                    For me
                                    #2 still a miserable experience but I'm in all the recommended themes. Is simply uninstalling/installing Nautilus an option here, or irrelevant towards a font fix?
                                    #12 and #13 fixed for me, thanks
                                    #17 not fixed for me. drop a file and poof you're in the new folder

                                    I have a #21 that's pretty common now: launch nautilus but no gui/rendering/window. the dot is above it in icon bar so it's alive, and budgie seems to think there's a window there since you can put it in front of opens apps and behind open apps but it can't be seen. No frame no outline no file manager. it's active in system monitor so I know it's running.

                                    All your advice re: themes has been followed by me (materia/korla).

                                      brent #17 not fixed for me. drop a file and poof you're in the new folder
                                      I have a #21 that's pretty common now

                                      The next sync will contain Nautilus 43.1 which contains a huge number of fixes. Personally I haven't seen #17 again since the middle of November, when I added the patch to fix it, but hopefully something else in the new version gets it in order for you too (as well as #21, which could be caused by a number of things that have been fixed in the meantime). I'll keep an eye on the Nautilus repository of course to see if any relevant patches are mentioned.

                                      odat4 As @[deleted] mentioned that package is not the whole MATE desktop or anything like that, but simply one of the basic (or THE basic) MATE libraries. Caja is a MATE project after all.
                                      It's not very big either:
                                      Installed Size: 3.60 MB, Package Size: 626.00 KB (could possibly be split up and stripped down, but I don't think it's worth the effort atm)

                                          I did a copy and paste to a usb drive and I had to close 4 nautilus windows afterwards.
                                          only started with one window open. 2nd time it happened

                                            Axios Can you explain in more detail what exactly you're doing, and what happens? Nautilus opens three extra windows of the destination location?

                                                Staudey Had file in my downloads folder selected it right click to copy.
                                                Then over to my usb drive I had plugged in and went paste copied just fine no problems
                                                But went to close filemanager window had to close extra windows never really noticed them until went to
                                                close 3 or 4 dont remb exact Doesnt do it all the time will pay more attention on the location.
                                                (Ahhh I can see where you coming from on the window)

                                                  Still got #17. And still got the disappearing act but now it mirrors the existing window when it launches:

                                                  front window is ungoogled chrome.
                                                  rear window is nautilus. This when I right-click the icon upper left and close Nautilus that way.
                                                  I use Caja when this happens and it doesn't happen every time I launch Nautilus, just every few times.

                                                  My Plasma DE was working okay, but after this latest update, the OS hangs after entering the Password on bootup screen. Is this issue related to the Kernel thingy?
