I have some scripts that creates folders by using mkdir:



...
mkdir bin
cd bin
mkdir make
...


It works perfectly most of the time. However, for unknown reasons, sometime, the just-created folders appear as a file in Thunar, a really annoying problem.



I can navigate into the newly made folder using the command line and the traditional cd, then run ls and other CLI commands.



Questions:



  1. do you know what causes the problem?

  2. do you know how to prevent it?

  3. is it a Xubuntu issue or it is related to other Ubuntu dis?

OS details:
The problem was observed in XUbuntu 16.04, 16.10, 18.04 LTS and finally in 18.10.

  • The file manager of all three was Thunar docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/start but all those versions reached their end of public support. See askubuntu.com/a/967184/197910 and kubuntu.org/news/… Currently supported versions are 19.04 (in support until Jan. 2020) and 18.04 LTS (in support until Apr 2021).

  • No reasons, it is just an example (the folder are created at different time). However it give the same error after some changes in the script.
