Cannot move / copy files between panes in Nemo after update

  • 772

I use multiplae panes a lot to move or copy files between panes. After Nautilus made the multiple panes disappear, I used the Webupd8's Repository so i can get that functionality back. Then, after a recent update, the context menu option to move / copy files between panes disappeared too...

It seemed to me that no one was bothered by it - because i couldn't even find any mention of the problem, so i set out to find the solution by myself, and now that I found it - I decided to share it with the community. I am sure someone found that an annoyance, like i did.

    So, here we go:

    First we have to install the DConf Editor

    sudo apt-get install dconf-editor

    Search for dconf in Unity and run it.

    Navigate to org--> nemo --> preferences.

    Tick the context-menus-show-all-actions item.

    Restart Nemo by either right-clicking its' Launcher icon and clicking Quit, or entering killall nemo in a terminal window.

    It is also possible to do it in a terminal window with a one liner:

    gsettings set org.nemo.preferences context-menus-show-all-actions true
