I can understand that, yes. But this is just an expression how _important_ it is to fix this bug. It's not funny for users to _want_ to help, but being not able to program, many have to wait, and see things evolving like UbuntuOne (when there's Dropbox already) and another compiz effect, when some of the very basics are not fixed.

don't exactly know what you mean with space in dest folder is full - disk space? no, please explain. Of course he isn't talking about disk space. Is it so difficult to understand? What he means: In List View each row contains one file. Let's say, there's enough room in the window to fit 40 rows in it (so 40 files can fit in this window). Now you copy a file and you try to paste it in the destination foler. If the destination folder contains less than 40 files, there are some empty rows left, so you can use this empty space to paste the file. If the destination folder contains 40 files or more than 40 files, there's no more space left to do a secundairy click to be able to paste the file, so the destination folder is full (not in terms of available bytes, but number of empty rows a.k.a. whitespace). in Dolphin/Konqueror you can right-click on the whitespace right to the file names in detail view or anywhere in between the files in the symbols view, and choose Paste, when you right-click on a folder, you can choose paste into folder.

[Bug 51043] Re: rightclick - paste missing in contextmenu when pointer is above files/folders
I agree with Christian A. Reiter. Having Paste and Create new folder always in the context menu is a bad workaround for the reasons Christian A. Reiter gave. A secundairy click should give a different context menu as when clicking some space next to, above or beneath the filename. Just like when doing a secundairy click on a hyperlink on a website. You only get the conext menu to open links in a new tab when clicking the hyperlink. Doing a secundairy click only 1mm next to, above or beneath the hyperlink gives you a completely other context menu. The same goes for Icon View and Compact View in Nautilus. A secundairy click on a filename gives you a completely other context menu compared to the context menu you get when doing a secundairy click next to, above or beneath a filename. The same goes for all views of the Explorer in Windows.

It's not necesary to click on the few pixels between two items - there's plenty of space on the right side of the file name.

Only the filename is highlighted when selecting files, you can use rubberband selection and a secundairy click on a filename gives another menu than a secundairy click in white space.

[Bug 51043] Re: rightclick - paste missing in contextmenu when pointer is above files/folders
True, Christian. Some bugs are still present in Ubuntu, even after many years have passed. Nautilus' List View has always had these kind of bugs. These bugs were already reported in 2001, but instead of fixing bugs they keep on adding new features. Can't they spend their time fixing those way too old bugs instead of adding new features? -- rightclick - paste missing in contextmenu when pointer is above files/folders https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/51043 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 51043] Re: rightclick - paste missing in contextmenu when pointer is above files/folders
I agree with Christian and Patrick. Please do something to fix the problem. This is a basic feature, much needed, with numerous patches already contributed. It seems to me that the maintainer of nautilus is just like the maintainer of glibc, Ulrich Drepper, not willing to accept any patches. Maybe he should be replaced? -- rightclick - paste missing in contextmenu when pointer is above files/folders https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/51043 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

BTW, thsis bug is rated low despite all the rumble about it. Could we please set it at LEAST to medium? IMHO this is high, because it's a major usability problem of a modern file browser. I think in Windows 3.1 this was already possible.

This bug still open on ubuntu 7.10.

I have read the comments at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94618 and it's really a shame that they still haven't fixed that bug in all those years! (the bug was first reported in 2002) I really don't know why are they complicating it so much. Like I said, the easiest solution in my opinion would be if right-mouse clicking would not select files. Left-mouse click selects file, right-mouse click brings up the context menu. If no file was selected before right-clicking, then the context menu is directory related, otherwise it is file related. -- rightclick - paste missing in contextmenu when pointer is above files/folders https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/51043 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 51043] Re: rightclick - paste missing in contextmenu when pointer is above files/folders
The problem is that the menu that shows up when right clicking is that it's related to the selected file and not the directory. So not only paste is missing, but all other options too - create new directory, zoom, etc... To fix this, right clicking should not select files. -- rightclick - paste missing in contextmenu when pointer is above files/folders https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/51043 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
