It seems this has been fixed with https://gitlab.com/rastersoft/desktop- icons-ng/-/commit/4c6de6a39f3e0d7ccff4399cb06f4bcd6485c047
I'll look into a way of backporting it into impish. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1948008 Title: Copying and pasting files between desktop and Nautilus does not work Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-ng package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gnome-shell source package in Focal: Confirmed Status in gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons source package in Focal: Confirmed Status in gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-ng source package in Focal: Invalid Status in gnome-shell source package in Hirsute: Fix Released Status in gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons source package in Hirsute: Invalid Status in gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-ng source package in Hirsute: Won't Fix Status in gnome-shell source package in Impish: Fix Released Status in gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons source package in Impish: Invalid Status in gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-ng source package in Impish: Confirmed Bug description: [Impact] * After upstream Nautilus has reverted the following commit [1] related to upstream bug [2] the desktop icons extension lost it's ability to copy to/from nautilus. * This is related to the fact that before there was some metadata passed along in the clipboard along with text data. This was causing issues with compatibility with some applications that were not expecting any metadata (MIME type in this case) was glued to the text clipboard contents. Hence, it was reverted upstream [3]. * Fixing the root cause of this issue required changes to Nautilus [3], gnome-shell [4] and desktop-icons [5] [6]. Nautilus and gnome- shell parts are already implemented and present in Hirsute and Impish. [Test Plan] 1) Make sure desktop-icons extension is enabled. 2) Open nautilus window and copy any file from there by right-clicking and selecting "Copy" from the popup menu. 3) Right-click on desktop and select "Paste" from the context menu. Expected result: selected file is copied to the desktop. Actual result: "Paste" item is disabled in the menu. [Where problems could occur] * Mixing a version of nautilus without commit [3] and fixed version of desktop-icons may still lead to a scenario when copying will not work. * Any extension/application copying to desktop using the smuggled-in- text clipboard behavior should be expected to stop working.
