I get why you would have contextually relevant menus, not a bad feature. But I would like to suggest that a simple compromise be this: if you have selected files, while holding ctrl or shift and right click anywhere in the window, then the correct menu for selected files should appear. otherwise if you right click in any empty space that context menu appears.
It is really frustrating to loose a bunch of files selected by right clicking on an empty space. An empty space you have been clicking on for the last 10 years. on all kinds of OS's. it's the expected behavior. But what i also have to say is. For a long time I have wished for the feature that I can create a new folder or file without having scroll down and find empty space. That I like. But please just add, if files are selected and ctrl or shift is down, bring up copy. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/912446 Title: Allow an independent context menu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/912446/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
