View Full Version : Why doesn't PCManFM offer a simple action to COPY a file to a different filename

Hi folks

In PCManFM 0.9.10, I want to simply make a copy of a file, and give the second file a different name, IN THE SAME DIRECTORY. I can't see a SIMPLE way to do this very simple task. Right clicking the original file doesn't offer a "copy to" option. Selecting Edit/CopyTo, expects you to specify ANOTHER directory.

So to achieve the task, I make a copy of the original file in ANOTHER directory, then rename it, then copy it back to the original directory.

Why doesn't PCManFM offer a simple action for this obvious task?

Thanks. John.

Are you sure ?
Right click on the original file
Copy
Right click on a free portion of the window's PCManFm (same directory)
Past
Choose the new file name instead of the old one highlighted

Bye
