Bug#586474: nautilus: please implement copy/paste with CIFS mounted shares

[Nathan A. Stine]

Package: nautilus
Version: 2.30.1-1
Severity: wishlist

I have noticed that when mounting a CIFS share in nautilus, I cannot use the
functions to create new files/folders from the right click menu, nor can i
paste files into the share (or its subfolders).  However, I can drag and drop
into the share (so I do have write permissions).

I would think this would be a useful feature to have.

Best regards,

Nathan A. Stine
