Description Rami 2009-01-10 10:54:12 UTC
Version:           2.0.0-beta2 "Space Odyssey" (using 4.1.3 (KDE 4.1.3) "release 69.1", KDE:KDE4:STABLE:Desktop / openSUSE_11.1)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.27.7-9-default

Sometimes files/folders are deleted / moved outside of krusader.
When I switch back to krusader it displays a message: file "filename" was not found".
this also happens when a file system has been unmounted.

Well,I really don't need these notifications and I want krusader to display my home folder when this happens instead of an error.

The same happens when you go to dir A, quit Krusader, delete A and run K. again.

Now it is a bug, not a wish since Kr. shows busy cursor which does not make any sense and misinforms users (busy means -- please wait).

My suggestion -- on removed dir, do the following:
a) use normal cursor (so please fix the bug)
b) find the longest prefix (dir) which exists
c) if (b) successful -- switch to it, END
d) if (b) fails -- go home directory
e) if (d) fails -- go to "/"
f) if (e) fails -- show empty tab
Comment 2 Alex Bikadorov 2017-05-26 18:53:07 UTC
Some users want
* the home folder
* some want root ("/")
* some want the first available parent dir (Bug 328940)
* some others want to stay at the non-existing dir (Bug 298292).

I think the last option is the best. Other places are available with one click and another user option would be overdoing it.
If somebody strongly disagrees, please comment.
