Dimming the icon is better than nothing but I think the problem goes a little deeper. What do you do if the user copies, rather than cuts, something? Dim that as well? The dimming doesn't seem to make as much sense for copying.
I think this thread: <https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel- discuss/2009-June/008724.html> attests to the fact that there is a deeper usability problem with clipboard and cut, copy and paste. There should be a visualisation (a panel applet, possibly) of the clipboard with the ability to preview its contents. This applet should implement some sort of notification when a cut or copy occurs to show that the content has gone into the clipboard (just like we have an animation when a window is minimised to the panel), and it should be possible to put more than one item in the clipboard. More like the clipboard in Sugar. -- Dim files when you 'cut' them for later 'paste' action https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194213 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
