Another idea could be to add further emblems to the icons of copied/cut files. In the simplest case this could be the stock icons for copy/cut (usually a pair of documents/a pair of scissors). I’ve quickly created another mockup showing this (based on Daniel‘s above – sorry for hijacking the screenshot …).
Probably some design person will find ways to further improve this idea, e.g., by adding some striking background color to the little emblem. Unfortunately I have no idea how easy this would be to implement … maybe the existing emblem infrastructure could be used for this? ** Attachment added: "Additional emblems mockup" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/28380640/mockup.png -- Dim files when you 'cut' them for later 'paste' action https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194213 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
