Title:
Add "Paste Shortcut" to Nautilus context menus
Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts:
Invalid
Status in Nautilus:
Confirmed
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
In Windows, you can right-click the file and drag it with the right
mouse button clicked, which will then give you a context menu to "Move
File", "Copy File", or "Paste Shortcut". Alternatively, you can "Copy"
the file and then right-click in the destination folder and select
either "Paste" or "Paste Shortcut".
The process in Nautilus is awkward. You have to select "Make Link" in
the source file, find the link, and then move it to the destination
folder. I usually don't bother and just make a symbolic link in the
command line (I type "ln -s" and then drag the file I want to link to
into the gnome-terminal window. This inserts the absolute path of the
file.) However, for Windows users who are afraid of the command line,
this is not an easy alternative.
Recommendation:
Enable a context-menu when you right click and drag a file from one
folder to another
--or--
Enable "Paste Shortcut" after you have copied a file.
