This is specifically about the cascading menu structure that shows the filesystem hierarchy accessed from Context menu > Move or Copy. The menu becomes overwhelming and unusable once you navigate anywhere with a lot of folders. Even beside that, the deeper your folder hierarchy, the more of the screen it takes up. What Nautilus does instead is to immediately open a file dialog and allow you to select the location there. Gwenview does the same thing for its Move to.../Copy to... functionality, so there's some precedent. |
