Now when you copy/cut in a window and then go into another one you can select the three lines button and from the menu select the icon indicated by the arrow in the picture below to paste: https://drive.google.com/file/d/11EDD0I3x6R025T5vQAtTQjn9Fy6yqIZy/view?usp=sharing I thought it could be nice to notice that finally the implementation is there...

It's obvious why, too: they believe people using that application are using the icon view exclusively and is the reason why the "paste" will always work in that view. The current nautilus design for the list view is, in my opinion, broken. Why? If I can't paste in list view when the list is full, it's broken. I guess no one has bothered opening a bug entry for this (I certainly haven't). -- Ranbir ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/RVJJWZ6YW2RFHCOJTHFYGUSHXF6VFHKW/

Allegedly, on or about 1 August 2018, Gianluca Cecchi sent: > while using "Files", the explorer application (version 3.28.1-stable) > in my Fedora 28 system, I have sometimes this kind of problem: > - I normally use what should be "list view" with list of file names > - if I have to paste a file/dir or group of copied files/dirs into a > location where the page listed is full (no blank space inside it), it > seems that I cannot paste: the right mouse click doesn't offer the > paste option. I'm annoyed by the same thing, it's a bad design. The right-click menu is context sensitive, so will only offer options applicable to what's under the cursor, or already selected. In this case, it'll be a menu for working with one of the existing files or folders in that window. Putting it simply, most of the so-called file managers on Linux are really not in the class of being a file "manager." They're just file browsers with a few features. Unless you use another file browser/manager, you've got two choices: 1. Use keyboard shortcuts, and inconveniently swap between keyboard and mouse. 2. Laboriously go into the edit menu (at the top of the window, presuming you're not using a desktop manager that has removed the feature), and pick PASTE from the EDIT menu. It'd be nice if you could simply add CUT, COPY and PASTE icons into the file browser's toolbar, to quickly do those *very* common functions. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 4.16.11-100.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue May 22 20:02:12 UTC 2018 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
