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 ------=_Part_2022690_1755007899.1431532717735 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <html><body><div style=3D"color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:He= lveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, Sans-Serif;fo= nt-size:16px"><div id=3D"yui_3_16_0_1_1431353322352_309939">Hi All,</div><d= iv id=3D"yui_3_16_0_1_1431353322352_309962"><br></div><div id=3D"yui_3_16_0= _1_1431353322352_309961" dir=3D"ltr">I have an experience something particu= larly frustrating, that I believe must have a simple solution:</div><div id= =3D"yui_3_16_0_1_1431353322352_309944" dir=3D"ltr"><br></div><div id=3D"yui= _3_16_0_1_1431353322352_309940" dir=3D"ltr">I'm browsing a large directory = in 'view items as a list' mode.
