Hi there!
A bit of an odd one happening for me lately with PCManFM. If I select a file or directory, then right click and choose either 'cut' or 'copy' all looks well. But if I go to another directory and then right click; 'paste' is always greyed out and won't work.
At the same time, if I drag files or directory to another directory showing on the same tab, that moves the files just fine. And the "mv" and "cp" commands move just fine.
It's a bit of a bother. If, for some reason, I want to move or copy files from, say "~/documents/receipts" to "/media/buddy/32gig" I can't drag and drop into different tabs in the same window, although I can drag and drop between different windows of PCManFM.
Does anyone know why the right-click->paste option would be disabled in PCManFM? And how to enable it? I find it's handy to have one window of PCMan with multiple tabs when I want to reorganize my files sometimes, so this paste option being disabled is a bit of a nuisance.
I think this might have started with Lubuntu 13.04. I'm not 100% sure, though. I've got Lubuntu installed on two laptops: a Toshiba Satellite A100 (32 bit Lubuntu) and a much newer Asus X55u (64 bit Lubuntu). And in both, the right-click-paste option is dsabled in PCManFM.
Anyway... If anyone could tell me how to enable that handy little paste thingy, it would be ever so nice!
Thanks in advance!
