Nautilus needs 'Move To.../Copy to...' actions for files and folders

[Nelson Álvarez Sáez]

When I want to copy or move a file from my computer to a portable device, I have to copy or cut it, then go to a new window in Nautilus and paste it on the destination folder. Too many clicks for such a simple task. There are Nautilus scripts on gnome-look.org aimed to solve that, but why not give Nautilus this functionality by default?

Hope you don't mind - I changed the title as Windows having this behavior is mostly irrelevant.

No problem

Thank you for your bug report, you can already use drag and drop and keyboard shortcut, that would only complicate the context menu and that's not something the desktop team will work on, you can open an upstream bug if you want though

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

There is an upstream request on http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=480564 let's see what they decide

Just as in upstream bug comment, I'd second that we shouldn't make the nautilus context menus larger than they already are.
Maybe you could use the nautilus-sendto extension instead?

[Nelson Álvarez Sáez (alvareznelson)]

Why don't they delete the Cypher and Sign items in the Nautilus menu
and add the more practical Copy to... and Move to... items?

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. Unfortunately a paper cut should be a small usability issue that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. I'm afraid this bug can't be addressed as part of this project.

This is a feature request, not a papercut.

A paper cut is a minor usability annoyance that an average user would encounter on his/her first day of using a new installation of Ubuntu 9.10.

For further info about papercuts criteria , pls read > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut

Don't worry though, This bug has been marked as "invalid" ONLY in the papercuts project.

This is already implemented in ubuntu 10.10 unless i'm wrong ?!

[Nelson Álvarez Sáez (alvareznelson)]

 It is implemented, but the only options are "Copy/Move to Desktop/Home folder", which is rather pointless, since you can easily drag and drop files from any folder to your desktop. An option to Copy/Move files to external storage devices would be much more useful.
