Nautilus file operations (b)
Old blog post recovered from 2006
Also, the list view is useless (whereas in Windows it is not). If you copy a file with the intention of pasting it, you often have to switch back to icon view to find a spare place that you can right-click to paste. Oh, unless I remember the ‘Paste’ option under the ‘Edit’ menu.
I get the feeling that Nautilus, as developed as it is after all these years, still has lots of potential but needs a fair amount of usability love (and more innovation over the klunky old Windows-based methods for managing files).
