Copy/paste to external application on Linux [message #323959]

Hi,

I am wondering if this is a known limitation (or maybe bug?) with
copy/paste behaviour on Linux...

On windows, I can copy a file from eclipse's project explorer, and then
paste it into an external app, such as Windows explorer. On Linux (I'm
using RHEL5), after I copy the file, I cannot paste it into the file
browser because the paste file action is always disabled (interestingly
though, dragging a file from eclipse to the file browser works).

Thanks,
Andrew

Hi again,

Any ideas? If this is in fact a limitation, is it documented anywhere?

Thanks,
Andrew
