Re: [Nautilus-list] New show hidden/backup files patch

[John Sullivan <sullivan apple com>]

I've always thought toolbar buttons for cut/copy/paste were silly, for 
the following reasons:

1. Toolbar space is precious
2. Cut/Copy/Paste are already always available in a standard place
3. Cut/Copy/Paste already have standard keyboard equivalents

Items 2 and 3 aren't as true in Linux as they are on Windows, and aren't 
as true in Windows as they are on Macintosh, but I'd still argue that 
given how precious the toolbar space is, I wouldn't spend any of it on 
commands that are easily available elsewhere in a way that many/most 
users already access via keyboard equivalents.
