Shortcut Ctrl-C not working in Nautilus treeview

[markba]

Binary package hint: nautilus

When Nauilus is operated with a treeview in the left pane, it is possible to copy a folder with the right-click menu, command 'Edit'. This folder can than be pasted anywhere where desired. However, this same copy operation is NOT possible through the assigned shortcut Ctrl-C. When issueing this command, nothing happens.

Within the top 'Edit' menu, the copy command is grayed out, meaning not available, although this functionallity actually works. May be the graying out is the reason while the shorcut Ctrl-C is not working. Probably, Ctrl-C is connected to the (disabled) menu item.

Thank you for your bug. That's known upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=305864

I'm a bit disappointed. The upstream bug is from may 2005 and also this bug is classified as wishlist meaning it has a very low priority (lowest?). We are talking about useability (people switching over from Windows for example) where it is expected these things just work.
Altogether, this means this bug will not be solved very soon and that's a pity. Sorry if i'm a little emotional on this thing.

There is over a thousand of nautilus bugs open upstream, a number of them a crashers, other can lead to data lost, other are pretty annoying, etc. There is plenty of way to copy a folder though from the sidebar or without using the sidebar, so right your bug is only a really minor one on the list of things to fix. It might be fixed soon if somebody else is annoyed by that an decide to start working on it though
