Bug Description

Xubuntu 13.04
Thunar 1.6.2-0ubuntu1

When I copying files from Nexus 4, I expect that target names is the same as source names.

What happened instead: The target filename converts to a number.

If I do the same with Nautilus, it works as expected, Target name is same as source name.

Seems to be the same like in PCMan. Thunar uses the wrong source for the filename.

Ugly and unfinished hack (copy only)

I looked into it and tried an ugly hack for it. I tested it and it works if you COPY a file from MTP device to standard filesystem (ext4). It does not work if you MOVE a file because I didn't change g_file_move operation in that file. ;-)

It's just to give a pointer to the problem. I don't know gio or thunar good enough to send a professional patch. ;-) There should be a much more better solution for that problem.

Let me know if I can help you. :-)

By the way.... nautilus works correct here. But I didn't know why because they do not use G-FILE-ATTRIBUTE-STANDARD-COPY-NAME:CAPS.

Last time I tried gvfs mtp everything was slow but worked correctly. Is this still a problem?
