Package: eog
Version: 2.8.1-1.1
Severity: minor
If you attempt to save a file to a name that exists, the error
message shown is incorrect. The error message says the source file
name exists and asks if you want to overwrite it, rather than the
destination file name.
To reproduce:
1) Create two folders, "a" and "b".
2) Put an image file in "a".
3) Open it in eog (I double click in Nautilus)
4) Save it to folder "b". Observe this works!
5) Exit eog.
6) Open the original file in eog again (I double click in Nautilus
again).
7) Try to save it to folder "b" with the same name it was saved with
last time. An error dialogue box pops up with the name of the source
file in folder "a" and the message "File exists. Do you want to overwrite it?"
Expected result:
Error dialogue box has the name of the destination file and not the
source.
This seems to work OK if you don't close eog between each attempt to
save the file.
