Public bug reported: In Nautilus 3.6, the "extra pane" has been removed. This has been filed as a bug separately (bug #1173648), but it appears the upstream developers are adamant about not reintroducing it, the pleas of users notwithstanding. So, I am trying to learn the new, intended workflow.
That other bug links to an upstream discussion (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683048) where one comment reads: "Folders open in other windows are added to the sidebar of the "Move to"/"Copy to" dialogs for quick access." From this I understand that the new, intended workflow is to open multiple windows and use the context menu Move To/Copy To dialogs. However, this does not work for remote (network) locations. To reproduce: - Open a Nautilus window - Connect to a server - Open a second Nautilus window - Select a local file - In the context menu, choose "Copy To…" - Observe that the remote directory which is open in the first Nautilus window is available in the dialog sidebar (attached screenshot) - Click on the remote directory in the dialog sidebar Expected: - The file can be copied to the remote location which is open in the other Nautilus window Observed: - An error dialog reading "The folder contents cannot be displayed / Cannot change to folder because it is not local" (second screenshot) - The file cannot be copied in this manner $ lsb_release -rd && apt-cache policy nautilus Description: Ubuntu 13.04 Release: 13.04 nautilus: Installed: 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu16 Candidate: 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu16 Version table: *** 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu16 0 500 http://mirror.bjtu.edu.cn/ubuntu/ raring/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "Screenshot from 2013-05-08 20:26:44.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1177773/+attachment/3669753/+files/Screenshot%20from%202013-05-08%2020%3A26%3A44.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1177773 Title: Nautilus 3.6 "Copy To…" error for remote targets To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1177773/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
