Personally, I avoid 'click and drag' just because I normally forget when it will copy and when it will move. Therefore, if using the GUI, I will right click and select copy or cut as required, and then paste. Now I don't think that explains your problem though. You could try using the cp command from the command line. Also, when you had your problem, was OpenShot still open? I am just thinking that if the file is still open in the application, that may cause the copy command to misbehave. Other than that, I have no suggestions. -- Philip Stubbs -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
