Public bug reported:
In previous versions of Ubuntu, copying in nautilus behaved so that it
was possible to select a file, Ctrl+C (or just right-click + copy) and
the resulting data on the clipboard was a "pasteable" file path that
could be used directly in a terminal or by Ctrl+V in an open file dialog
box. This was incredibly powerful.
Ubuntu 19 behaves differently. If I for example select my .zshrc file in
nautilus and past into terminal, the resulting output is:
x-special/nautilus-clipboard
copy
file:///home/trond/.zshrc
performing the same on Ubuntu 18 or lower would copy the literal path of
the file:
/home/trond/.zshrc
imho this is a bug as it deteriorates the overall file management experience in
Ubuntu.
