Description Jakob Unterwurzacher 2008-08-26 14:21:27 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
This is on Ubuntu Hardy.

This is what *should* happen (it works in symbol view in nautilus or at the desktop):
* Create a file, "foo.txt".
* Drag it, then drop it to the same window while holding Ctrl (cursor changes to copy cursor).
* A copy of the file, "foo (copy).txt" is created.

This is what happens in list view:
* The cursor changes to the copy cursor (plus sign) when Ctrl+dragging.
* When you drop the file to the same window, nothing happens.
* When you drop the file to the same folder open in another window, nothing happens.

Steps to reproduce:


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Comment 1 Kamil Páral 2008-12-29 00:46:42 UTC 
I can confirm this issue is Gnome 2.24.1.
Dragging and dropping using the middle mouse button also does not work. Ctrl+C Ctrl+V does work.

Patch

The altered if-case in the patch used to prevent from dropping an item in the source folder for list-view in general. The new if-check prevents from dropping an item to the source folder just for move operations in list-view. Creating a copy or a link of the dragged item in the same folder is now permitted like in icon-view.

Patch works and looks fine to me. Would be nice to have a name to credit it to before we commit it though.
Comment 5 logari81 2009-01-25 12:45:34 UTC

Setting patch status to reflect comment #4.
It's anyway too late in the cycle now to commit this, so you should commit it after branching.

Now that nautilus has branched, can this please get committed to master?
