PCManFM and ssh X forwarding

Post by ssgross »

Hi,
I have noticed a strange behavior.
1) I ssh into my other machine inside pcmanfm (i.e. browse to ssh://user@location:/home/user/)
2) I open test.txt and edit it. I save the changes.
3) the changes are not saved.

This phenomena is only observed using pcmanfm. If I use any other file manager (thunar, nautilus, spacefm) there is no issue. It seems to be a permissions thing, but there is no errors in any application when attempting to save.

I should comment that ssh is setup correctly for X forwarding, etc. on all my machines. Troubleshooting with a variety of file managers, and a variety of different programs all point to the problem being within pcmanfm.

I am using pcmanfm 1.0.0-1 on archlinux.
