I am used to drag-and-drop between multiple windows from WinXP and KDE.
At the moment, I am using Ubuntu 11.04/XFCE, as Unity/Compiz is extremely
slow on my old system, and Nautilus is just (4-letter words omitted).


In Thunar, this does NOT work as expected. Sometimes, I am able to select
a file and drag to another window, but I haven't figured out yet when and
how this works.

Usually, when clicking a file in the source window and then dragging,
Thunar will just mark a region of files. This ALWAYS seem to happen
when I start clicking (in "detailed" display) outside of the file icon
and inside of the file-name, file-date, file-size, etc.

I don't understand the reason of the "mark region" function, as "copy"
seems to be implemented, but "paste" is not.


If I am making a stupid mistake, and there is some obscure way to copy
single or multiple files between two or more Thunar windows, please point
me to the documenation.

Cheers,
