Question Is it possible to add more locations for 'Copy to' & 'Move to' context menu items in Caja?


Hi.

I'm using Caja v1.24.0-1. If I click on a file or folder, I can copy or move to the Home folder or Desktop folder. Is there a way to add re locations?

Or perhaps another route or application?

Thanks.

if you move it will be removed from it original location, so it does not work that way. But you can try to copy once, paste into several locations and finally remove the original files.

Hi pan64. I think you mis-understood me. I mean for example, I want more options in the context menu like 'Copy to ~/Temp' and 'Move to ~/Temp'.

I guess the Caja Actions package (caja-actions) might achieve this but I'm unsure as to how to do that.
