Title:
Add "Copy File Location" to the Context Menu Upon Right-Clicking Files
Status in Nautilus:
Invalid
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Binary package hint: nautilus
I've also file this bug here:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=601189
but this may be something that gnome expects Ubuntu to add as a
customization, so:
Often times, I use nautilus to quickly navigate to a file whose location I
need
to cut and paste elsewhere.
To get the location of a file in the clip-board currently requires the
following steps:
(1) Navigate to the folder the file is in.
(2) Right-Click on the file.
(3) Click "Rename..."
(4) Type Ctrl-A
(5) Type Ctrl-C
(6) Click the "Pencil" icon (left of the location bar to display the folder
path in text).
(7) Put a forward-slash on the end of the currently displayed folder-location.
(8) Paste the file-name (copied in step 5) to the end of the currently
displayed location
(9) Type Ctrl-A
(10) Type Ctrl-C
These 10 steps could be reduced to 2 steps if we'd simply add one more item to
the context menu that is displayed when someone right-clicks on a file in
nautilus: "Copy File Location"
Another item I suggest to add to this same context menu is: "Copy File Name".
This features should also include files extension when the text is place in
the
clipboard.
Firefox has similar items in it's context menu, while right-clicking on web
links: "Copy Link Location", and I've even added a firefox extension that
allows my to "Copy Link Text".
When I right-click on something, I expect to see a list of all things I might
want to do to what I'm right-clicking on.
Many users will appreciate these additions, and many have probably thought of
them, but they didn't take the time to file a report because of the many steps
required to do so. Each step in any process culls the impatient.
In summary, please add the following to nautilus' context-menus upon
right-clicking files:
(1) "Copy File Location"
(2) "Copy Name"
(3) "Copy Name with extension"
Add the following to nautilus' context-menus upon right-clicking folders:
(1) "Copy Folder Location" (include forward-slash on the end)
(2) "Copy Folder Name"
These enhancement eliminated many steps, and therefore evolve
usability.
I don't know if this is an Ubuntu customization enhancement or GNOME
fundamental enhancement, so I also filed this too:
