Hi All,
I have an experience something particularly frustrating, that I believe must have a simple solution:
I'm browsing a large directory in 'view items as a list' mode. I want to make a copy of a file in that directory, with the new copy in the same directory, using my mouse.
I right click on the file I want to copy, select copy, and then I need to look for an empty void to right click again and select paste - but I can't find one... Empty voids are easy to find on 'grid view'.
So, I end up getting frustrated, using Ctrl-c, Ctrl-v and getting on with life. Except this time, when I'm asking for help to explain this :)
thoughts?
cheers,Richard
