Implement cut & paste #48

Closed jleclanche closed 12 years ago

jleclanche commented 12 years ago

Ctrl+X should cut to move.

ABBAPOH commented 12 years ago

It's almost impossible to implement in a cross-platfom way (i need support other FMs like Explorer or Dolphin and mime data should tell both programs to move file instead of copying - i don't know how to do it)

I'll add a workaround used in Apple Finder - "copy & paste-move" (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+Shift+V)

jleclanche commented 12 years ago

It at least needs to work within andromeda itself. Supporting other FMs is an extra feature.

ABBAPOH commented 12 years ago

Incorrect. Typical usecase - cut/paste to desktop.

jleclanche commented 12 years ago

It's still an extra feature compared to getting it to work within andromeda itself. Typical usecase: cut/paste to a different folder. Would be nice to have that at least.

ABBAPOH commented 12 years ago

If you cut file and andromeda and it will work within user will expect that if he cuts file and pastes it to desktop, it will be moved. User will be confused if not - he doesn't see difference between andromeda, other FM or a desktop folder. He will see a bug and it's hard to explain to user why sometimes cut paste work and why sometimes doesn't.

jleclanche commented 12 years ago

Uhh... personally, andromeda is completely unusable without copy/paste support.

Add "Move here" action instead of "Cut" Maybe one day i will implement "Cut"
