Description

Hello everybody,

I am trying to copy some files from a cellphone (bluetooth) to my PC, using Thunar.

I mount a cellphone (Nokia 2720 Fold: Series 40) using "blueman".

The volume appears correctly in the left pannel: "/ on [C8:DF:7C:A5:D4:63]" The address bar is also correct: "obex://[C8:DF:7C:A5:D4:63]/" And I can correctly browse all the folders. So I can for example find in obex://[C8:DF:7C:A5:D4:63]/Imágenes/ a picture file named: Imagen0115.jpg

It does work correctly if I right-click and select "Open with Gimp". Using "ps", I find that the command lanched is: gimp-2.8 /run/user/1000/gvfs/obex:host=%5BC8%3ADF%3A7C%3AA5%3AD4%3A63%5D/Imágenes/Imagen0115.jpg

I can also copy the file or all the folder, using cp: cd /run/user/1000/gvfs/obex:host=%5BC8%3ADF%3A7C%3AA5%3AD4%3A63%5D/ cp Imágenes/Imagen0115.jpg /tmp cp -R Imágenes/ /tmp

So far so good. Now, what fails:

I click on a file, "Copy", then try to paste it somewhere else:

Pop-up window #1 (closed): Processing file: Copying files into "tmp"... Imagen0115.jpg Pop-up window #2 (closed): Another operation is in progress. Do you want to ignore it? (Retry, Yes for all, Yes, Cancel) And no file gets copied

I click on a folder, "Copy", then try to paste it somewhere else:

Same error for each file (if choosing "Ignore"). The folder is copied, but with no file inside.

I tend to believe that, when I copy using Thunar, two things happen at the same time (like copying it and trying to figure out what it contains) and that this is not possible over bluetooth. When I copy using "cp", no such thing happen and everything goes well.

I am running Xubuntu 14.04 on i386 (32 bits).
