[Bug 882570] Re: dash file search: no indication about paths

[Paul Matthijsse]

Update.

Tonight I noticed that my work from today (on two articles) was replaced
by the rsync backup of yesterday. Apparently I have been working today
on the backup files of yesterday, without me knowing that / without
Ubuntu informing me about that, after having opened them via dash.

1. This is an urgent issue.
2. Workaround: stop using dash to access files until this problem is solved. Use Nautilus instead. 

Other users with backups on the same machine should be informed about
this.

Title:
  dash file search: no indication about paths

Status in “dash” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have backup files on a second drive in my pc. When I use dash to
  search for a file, it always shows two entries of a certain file, one
  in say /home/paul/work, the other in /media/hd250/backup. It happend
  to me several times the last days that I discovered that I was working
  on an backup file. In case of a file with lots of passwords, this is
  really a very bad thing.

  So show up the path of the file somewhere, or add a filter that only
  shows results from this_drive or that_drive or both drives.

  Regards, Paul.
