As doggenult said it seems that the problem is related to thumbnails. I'm using and old release of ubuntu (11.10 with Nautilus 3.2.1) and have experienced the problem that doggenult commented. I usually generate large pdf files with latex. Sometimes when I navigate in the folder where the file is located, the file doesnt appear. So I go back to the previous folder and enter again and the file appears.
As regards the copy and paste problem, I close the window and open a new nautilus window and it works for a while until the problem appears again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/988251 Title: Nautilus cut, copy, paste, move and rename options are greyed out and stop working Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The problem appears while using the mouse trying to copy or cut / paste links, folders or files from one location to another. After the mouse-right-click drop-down menu selection of 'copy' or 'cut' the second stage - right-click 'paste' (to the desired location) - is greyed out and the selected files won't move/copy. Key combinations CTRL-X, CTRL-C, CTRL-V don't work either. However dragging and dropping with the mouse allways works perfectly. Also using SHIFT + drag with the mouse works correctly. The files are on the local network on a nfs v3-server (Ubuntu 10.04). Permissions are correct and chmod is 755 (as it has always been). This problem came with the Ubuntu 11.10 workstation and has never occurred before. The workstation was upgraded from 10.10 to 11.10 by CD, formatting / (ext4) and leaving Home unformatted (ext4). I am using Unity-2D.
