#720 Paste disabled after selecting cut (Ctrl + x)

[Anonymous]

With PCManFM: to move a file or folder, I must use "Edit -> Move to..."
"Edit -> Cut" then "Edit ->Paste" or Ctrl + x then Ctrl + v doesn't work. Paste item is disabled (insensitive)

I tried with SpaceFM: no problem, cut & paste function works properly.

Can you fix this annoying bug?
Thank you in advance!

I have this bug since 1.0 version.

Thank you very much for the bug report. Could you tell me which version do you use and does it always reproducible for you? I just never happen to meet such bug and all my friends who use pcmanfm never told me about such problem. That problem may happen if something else interferes with clipboard and changes its content so PCManFM thinks it does not contain files anymore. Check your running programs please, and try to terminate all of them that manage clipboard content - it might be clipboard manager or another file manager for example.

"it might be clipboard manager"
-> I forgot this ! I just tried without it and cut & paste works again.

It seems it's a bug with Glippy.

I think the Glippy converts file info into plain text but plain text should never be treaten as file info because if you treat random text on clipboard as file info that may lead to unpredictable bugs. It's why other mature file managers (such as Dolphin for example) treat plain text on clipboard as data, not as file info, so does PCManFM since stable release. Report the bug to Glippy developers, please. Also you can use other clipboard manager instead (I've used Klipper and ClipIt, both are very good). Thank you very much.

-> Already done (https://bugs.launchpad.net/glippy/+bug/1163244), still no answer.
