Assume I want to copy a file from /home/foo/bar/baz
to /opt/quuz/dir1/option3
. When I try it with Nautilus, first I have to open the correct directory, copy the file, go to the other directory and paste it there. I was thinking of a better way and old KDE3 versions of Konqueror came to mind. It was possible to right-click on a file. The context menu had an option for copying, moving the file to some default directories. Furthermore you could select any directory under /
. So for the above action one would right click on a file, select /opt
first, a list of subdirectories will open, select /opt/quuz
and so on.
Using GNOME there are only two possible values (home and desktop). Is there any way to insert more directories to this context menu in GNOME? Can I copy somehow the behaviour of Konqueror?
