Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus
Select Places/Computer from the menu and Nautilus displays the devices connected to the computer. If you right click on a device then a context menu is displayed. It is strange that there are copy and cut items in the context menu. What does it mean to copy my CDROM drive? I thought perhaps it would copy all files on the CDROM but this does not seem to be the case. Cut just displays an error message if selected (Operation not permitted). Likewise there is "Move to wastebasket" and "Delete" menu items which also display error messages when selected.
These menu items don't make sense and should not be in the context menu I think (the context menu should be for operations that are performed often and make sense in the context of what is selected).
