Cut'n'paste with the GNOME Files app

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Forwarding a head-scratcher problem that has come up here:

1.) Set the "Files" app to display details instead of icons.
2.) Mark a file (e.g. in 2nd "Files" window) with either "Cut" or "Copy".
3.) Open a directory that contains many files.
4.) Try to to paste the cut/copied file into that crowded directory.

=> There is no free space in the directory view where to get "Paste" in
the context menu. Everywhere one clicks it opens the context menu of
either an existant file or a directory. Even making the window larger
doesn't help.

Where to find a "Paste" method then to activate with the mouse?

As I still use Midnight Commander, I found that problem puzzling.

On the contrary, if switching back to display directory contents as icons
(no matter whether large or small icons), there is enough free space
between the icons, and at the right border of the window too, where to get
the context menu for "Paste" into current dir.
