#1059 cut and paste not working when desktop icons are enabled under GNOME
pcmanfm 1.2.5
Arch Linux Kernel: 4.13.8-1, but this happens on my Debian installation as well
How to reproduce:
- Start a gnome session
- Enable desktop icons using gnome-tweak-tool
- Now you can't cut and paste files in pcmanfm
Cut and paste works with other file-managers such as nemo, so this leads me to believe this is a bug in pcmanfm.

I met the same error under lxqt. Is this right place to open a defect? No any updates until now.
Same with my Arch Linux.
Same problem.
I can just moving files between tabs.
PCManFM 1.2.5
Kernel 4.15.0-12
This still happens with 1.3.0.
Same.
Copy doesn't work.
I need to drag & drop to move files. Paste works when files are copied from another files manager (tested nautilus). Cut from another files manager works too.
Pasting in another file manager doesn't work.
Pasting as text doesn't work. (With Nautilus, pasting as text pastes a newline-sparated list of file paths.)
PCManFM 1.2.5
Kernel 4.15.0-20 (generic) (x86_64)
Ubuntu 18.04
same problem, budgie desktop, ubuntu 18.04, kernel 4.15.0-23-generic
after disable and enable show desktop icons, copy shortcut works, but not paste shortcut
Same here in Arch linux
same in Gentoo in lxde, pcmanfm-1.2.5
same in Gentoo in lxde with pcmanfm-1.2.5
This seems to be fixed now under Gnome 3.30, so maybe it was a Gnome/Nautilus issue after all.
Maybe somebody else can confirm, but I believe this can be closed.
@PaveThem, I doubt was the case. I've been using
nautilusas an alternative topcmanfmdue to this issue, and there was no problem with it even with gnome libraries prior to 3.30.Furthermore, I tested both alternatives available in Arch Linux for
pcmanfm, pcmanfm (based on GTK2) and pcmanfm-gtk3 (Based on GTK3 ), and both alternatives have this issue, at least from August until today.So I guess is mostly related to pcmanfm.
I have the same issue with PCManFM 1.2.5 (Ubuntu 18.04 with Unity desktop)
I seem to have the same or at least very similar issue in a fresh Lubuntu 18.10 installation. Moving a file by drag and drop (then choosing "move here") fails most of the times. But (when I try very often) sometimes it works!
PCManFM-Qt Version 0.13.0
Gnome 3.30
Trying to find a file manager for linux which does not suck .. this seemed promising until this happened. Ubuntu 18.04.
Totally agree. Hard to find a decent file manager. Nautilus, dolhin, nemo etc etc all have problems. I hope pacmanfm can be fixed...this is so fundamental.
I recently upgraded my Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04, mostly because I was getting annoyed that PCManFM kept crashing, and I read that it was fixed in the newer versions.
It no longer crashes (hasn't crashed since the upgrade, several weeks ago), but this issue of not being able to cut and paste (in any folder or drive), is almost more annoying. Please fix it urgently!
Having the same issue running F28 (xfce4 spin) with pcmanfm v1.3.1
That is a great file manager, but this silly bug is just killing me.
It would be perfect if someone found the source of the problem. Unfortunately I'm permamently running out of free time to experiment with this. :(
Same Same. Only copy and past works here. PCManFM 1.3.0 Lightweight file manager
using LibFM ver. 1.2.5
Hey! is this bug still present for you guys ? I tested pcmanfm today and the move already works
Hi,
I'm on Ubuntu 18.04 running Gnome Desktop 3.28.4 with PCManFM 1.3.1 from your ppa.
I'm running into the same problem as soon as I activate "Show Icons" on desktop in Gnome Tweaks. As long as it is disabled, copy/cut and paste works fine. So it seems, the desktop extension and PCManFM interfere in some way…
Hi,
This is works for me !!
Thanks, you're right soon as I deactivate "Show Icons" on desktop in Gnome Tweaks, the copy/cut paste works fine. Thanks a lot
