Description info 2018-03-24 17:40:58 UTC

The function copmare folders (Strg+Y) does not work correct (at least in BtrFS volumes)

There are 2 problems:

1. if a foldername has a # in it, the folder can not be found (most likely). In the upcoming message the # is mostly at the end of the message. It seems so, that there is a internal parser error.

2. every message of case 1 will be displayed as modal(?!) message. This means hundrets of messages have to be acceptetd.

What is Strg+Y? Is it Ctrl+Y, i.e. Synchronizer?
Which version do you use?

I suppose that the bug reporter is using Synchronizer.

It works correctly for me (using the latest Krusader git version, and ext4, under Kubuntu 17.10).

> Which version do you use?    

If the bug reporter is using an old version of Krusader... then that bug report would look like a duplicate of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=270150 , which is already solved. If the bug reporter does not answer, then we can close this bug report.

Sorry for my late response.

Yes it is Syncronizer Ctrl+Y  (in Germany it ist Strg+Y)

Krusader-Version 2.4.0-beta3 "Single Step"
KDE 4.14.16
Xubuntu
xfc 4.12

I always try to get latest updates, so I don't know really if I have them...

In concrete I try to compare a huge foldertree ( more than 8 millions of files).
One tree is on a ext4 , the other on a Btrfs.
If the tool comes to folders which have a # in its name (unfortunately some windows-folder have it) an error message occours for every (!) file in this folder.
The messagetext gives not exactly the foldername. The # is often set to the end of the messagetext ore is complete missing..

Please let me know what can I do!

Yes, there was a similar bug (or the same bug):

It looks like you are using Xubuntu 14.04, which will not have security updates beginning with 2019-04. Maybe it would be better for you to upgrade now your operating system (or to use a virtual machine to utilize a newest Krusader version, etc.).

If you need help to install a new Krusader version (you would have to use a different operating system than Xubuntu 14.04) you can ask there.

Thanks for information.

Now I set up a new Xubuntu 16.04.4 (It was 16.04 before).

Then a command like "sudo apt-get install krusader" installs old version "Krusader-Version 2.4.0-beta3 "Single Step"" again!

I'm not sure if there is a problem while (x)ubuntu 16.04.4 do not install the stable 2.6.0 automatically !?

Ok, so you can wait until Xubuntu 18.04 is out (in April 2018); or you can use the Krusader git version: 

- Just in case, you can backup your
    ~/.local
    ~/.kde
    ~/.config
folders. This way your settings should be backed up.

- You can execute
    sudo apt remove krusader  # In this case we use "remove" instead of "purge"
 
- You can follow the "compile Krusader from source" instructions:
    https://cgit.kde.org/krusader.git/tree/INSTALL
