oops... it appears that i could have had a file protection problem - the files where protected 600 in a directory protected 775 (i cannot see why. it is .lyx) and i wanted to paste them into a similarly protected directory (again 775). i guess the later was causing the failue.
then my bug should perhaps move to the wish list: cut/pasate should not silently fail when protection does not allow read or write of the file, but inform the user. (it is not the first time i fell pray to this, but the first time that i did not realise). -- nautilus cut/paste zero length files 7.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/137931 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
