Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
It is common (at least for me) to sometimes select files and dropping them in
the same window by mistake. Usually by one of the 3 reasons:
* changed my mind about copying them;
* when in a hurry, move the mouse to select another file before releasing the
mouse button;
* when using touchpad, I am forced to drop them because I reached the end of
the touchpad but I am still on the same window.
This ends in nautilus making a copy of each selected file on the same
directory.
My guess is that users probably aren't interested in making copies of a
file to the same directory. This could be fixed by not copying if,
destiny directory is the same as origin and, drag and drop is being used
for the copy (just so users can still copy and paste with copy and paste
commands and keyboards shortcuts in case that's what they really want).
*****
I am using Ubuntu 9.10 Netbook remix edition with Nautilus 2.28.1
