Only one or two folders have this emblem in Nemo, no idea why

Post by mikeymike »

The folder in question is located on an NTFS partition. When I first looked at this folder's parent (which is the mounted NTFS partition's root), this subfolder and one other folder were showing up with that emblem which looks like a hard drive. The only thing in common that the two folders have is that they're on the places sidebar, ie. I've dragged and dropped them there so I have quick access to them, so the first thing I tried was removing one of them from that list. Then the emblem disappeared off both of them. I closed the window and re-opened it, navigated back to that location, and the emblem has returned just for the folder that I removed/re-added to the places list.

I'm really confused! Any help would be much appreciated. That 'emblem' isn't on the default emblems list either (right-click on folder, properties, emblems).

So everything is working fine, but that emblem is driving you nuts, heh?

Everything else is working fine AFAIK. There is an image link at the top of the OP (it was an embedded image until a mod changed it). The only other thing I noticed was that when I right-clicked on folders with this emblem, there was an 'unmount' option. If I selected that, the OS asked me if I wanted to unmount the entire data HDD.

The emblems aren't there today, but one thing I can confirm is that if I browse the file system to the mount point of the data HDD (with the NTFS partition), it shows the same emblem, so I believe that hard drive icon/emblem is meant to denote whether a folder is a mount point, just that it shouldn't have been there for the 'Music' folder (screenshot in OP).

It was not showing up as an embedded image on my browser. It was showing as the word "Image" which could not be clicked. As indicated, all I did was change the BBcode tag from img to rimg. I did not change the image link.

I'm not sure why some browsers are seeing certain BBcodes differently than other browsers unless maybe it relates to the fact some sites have https while others only have http. :?

About image's link....

Most probably it is what you say and it is not shown on forum using img or rimg options 'cause https is not available on that site.

Any way image is already there on down right corner. :wink:

I wrote a post about it. viewtopic.php?f=29&t=384515
There should be a reminder when one use [img], so that people no longer post non https image to this forum. If they can't find https hosting site, they can attach those image directly.
