This is the log part when opening the folder via webdav. CENSORED%20FOLDERNAME (sorry, had to censor it, but it contains two words with a space in the middle), Admins, Allgemeines and Design are the current groupfolders (see gif in discussion mentioned above in "Actual behaviour")

I'm using Ubuntu 22.04 with nautilus. The groupfolders are shown correctly with webdav. But if you enter such a groupfolder, the id is shown within the path:

sunnyd24 · 2023-08-25T22:00:57Z

Issue #2430 refers.
I suggested that group folder ID's should have friendly names, but the issue was closed without a resolution.
If it was resolved, you wouldn't have these types of issues further down the line, when used in your use case as observed in your bug report using webdav/davfs.
Suggest commenting in #2430 for it to be reopened and resolved.

XueSheng-GIT · 2023-08-26T04:36:35Z

@sunnyd24 These are different issues. Keeping the id for the raw filesystem does make sense to keep things simple. Accessing the raw filesystem directly is not an intended use case for a user.

But accessing the nextcloud data via dav is a common use case for a user and the folder names should be displayed in a user friendly way.

that's funny. In my case it's the other way around and i see the foldername in the path (after clicking the folder which is named with the id)

antonwantstosleep · 2023-09-08T12:47:51Z

Is there any progress with this? How can we help?

undertstater · 2023-11-09T14:18:53Z

My finding:
On one LinuxMint 21.2 I've installed first Nemo and later Nautilus.
On Nemo I defined a webDAV Bookmark to a folder on my NextCloud containing some Groupfolders. As that showed the numbers instead of the groupfolder names, I installed Nautilus.
Starting Nautilus the first time I already got the folder with the groupfolders as bookmark. Selecting that I saw the "good" names for the groupfolders.
So it might be only an issue with Nemo on a NextCloud 25.0.x. With the version 24.0.12 of NextCloud that problem does not occure at all!

svoeth · 2023-11-28T10:48:57Z

Seems to be a nemo issue.
Therefore it is moved here: linuxmint/nemo#3331

Burnie09 · 2024-03-19T14:35:27Z

It is actually a bug in NextCloud.
Some webdav clients (Nemo, Nautilus etc) asks for specific properties in PROPFIND, e.g. 'displayname'.
And NextCloud then replies with the groupfolder id as the displayname.

I have added a quick workaround. (v. 28.0.1)

nextcloud-webdav-groupfolders.patch

svoeth · 2024-03-19T23:30:03Z

thx @Burnie09

reopening due to your find

Burnie09 · 2024-03-20T03:38:25Z

Here are a few requests and replies that makes the difference more clear, that some webdav clients asks for - and uses - displayname. (I have tidied it up a bit for readability)

Hi,

the PropFindPlugin in Groupfolder should be the better place to add this custom display name logic for group folders:

groupfolders/lib/DAV/PropFindPlugin.php

Line 63 in d3a1f37

if ($node instanceof GroupFolderNode) {

thekk1 · 2024-07-29T10:36:35Z

It is actually a bug in NextCloud. Some webdav clients (Nemo, Nautilus etc) asks for specific properties in PROPFIND, e.g. 'displayname'. And NextCloud then replies with the groupfolder id as the displayname.

I have added a quick workaround. (v. 28.0.1)

nextcloud-webdav-groupfolders.patch

This patch fixes this bug here for me as also this bug: nextcloud/server#46694
Seems to be good solution for me.

ruedigerkupper · 2024-08-07T10:27:33Z

I see this problem in the web interface (NC 29): At first, the files app shows the folders with their correct names, but as soon as I enter them the name is replaced by the id:

When I navigate up and out from the folder the file listing keeps showing the id for a second and then it is replaced by the literal name again.
