Description Brett Randall 2009-07-31 23:42:39 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
The status bar in Nautilus provides the following prompt after selecting a file and issuing Copy via CTRL-C or Edit->Copy:

"<filename>" will be moved if you select the Paste command

This is the same message issued after a Cut operation.  Ideally, the message would be:

"<filename>" will be copied if you select the Paste command

i.e. moved->copied.  The current message is misleading as it suggests that the file will be moved.

Steps to reproduce:
As above.

Actual results:
Misleading message is displayed in the status bar.

Expected results:
As above.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

This seems to work fine now, closing as OBSOLETE. Please reopen if you can still reproduce the bug in Nautilus >= 2.30.
Comment 2 Jeff Sereno 2010-04-28 21:31:06 UTC 
Just tried a Right-Mouse-Copy on a single file or folder and upon choosing "Copy" from the menu, the string shown in the status bar still says "<blah> will be moved if you select the Paste command".

This is using Nautilus 2.30 in the Ubuntu Lucid Release Candidate.

The same occurs if I do a CTRL+C on a single file or folder.

The problem does NOT occur if I choose MULTIPLE files/folders.

Note that if you select Paste, the file is copied, not moved, as expected. The problem is simply an incorrect text string in the status bar.

Could this be an Ubuntu-specific bug? I tried to reproduce the bug both with git master and with the Fedora 2.30 package and did not succeed.
