[Gtk-sharp-list] GIO# FileAdapter.Copy and FileAdapter.Move - System.NullReferenceException Issue with my installation?

[Dan Saul]

Hi,

Sorry about replying to myself, but I have a little bit more information. I
installed gtk-sharp from SVN on another computer I own and it had the same
issue. Unfortunately this computer is almost identical in configuration to
my main computer.

I was able to work around the issue by calling
System.IO.File.Move(file1.Path,file2.Path); and the file was moved
successfully. While this does work it will only work on remote files if we
go through the FUSE layer which is less than desireable.

Of course I appreciate any thoughts from others in trying to track this
down.
