ugh.
Gnome file manager isn't showing new files in a certain folder
nextcloud isn't showing the folder at all
when I do "ls" in the shell, the files are clearly there

my guess is this has something to do with copy-pasting the folder name when naming it (I think it had a line break inside)

but how do I fix it?

@noiob @jollysea I‘d also say check what happens if you mv or cp it to a new name. If that stays an issue my next guess would be a permission issue that makes gnome ignore the files owned by the user of that file

@hatbang @noiob I renamed it with the file manager, so there shouldn't be an issue anymore. Even took out all the special french characters. Still isn't showing the new files. (all renaming was done by GUI, sorry ^ ^)

Solved it by creating a new folder and cp-ing the files inside that. that worked.

permissions are all -rw-rw-r-- and I am the owner. (same as for the one, older file it is showing). so weird. maybe I should try to reproduce that and file a bug? but not now :D

@jollysea @noiob I’d be just happy its resolved for now cause there’s a high chance you just discovered a ‚feature‘ that is documented somewhere you only discover 2-3 hours after you started your initial investigation 😂 (if it keeps happening that’s different of course)
