GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 110283
Visual indication for cut files.
Last modified: 2008-02-26 09:38:37 UTC
1) It would be better if the items vanish from the current folder view (just the view, not the real files) when they are cut. It seems weird the way it is now, and even the way other file managers do it (for example "shading" the icons) is weird, just making them vanish should be enough. though see point 3. 2) I'd like to have an item "paste copies" to be able to late-revert a cut to a copy (maybe ctrl-shift-V ;)). Even a hidden feature would do (Shift+Paste menu action or something?). 3) please add a "number of files in the clipboard" to the "paste" icon (that icon still would need to be created though *hint hint*) in the toolbar (output: "[5 items]" or something, its pretty clear what that means when written right under the paste icon) with these, cut&paste would get more obvious than context menus / keyboard shortcuts only.
2) please open a new report. we keep one spcific problem per report so things dont get confusing. 3) same adding usability team here I do not think we want to remove the file from any view - the user may wonder where the file is gone to - Trash? Clipboard? Memory? Temporary location? What happens if I shut down the computer now???

From duplicate bug #439718: There's a (maybe outdated) patch [1] on the Nautilus m-l for this. Maybe it could be possible to have the same effect as the one for dragged icons in bug #500084? [1] http://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus-list/2005-June/msg00018.html
