Can I add a Move To, and Copy To, to the right click, when in files, menu on Mint 17.2 ? Thanks

What desktop environment do you use?
If you don't know open a terminal and enter:

Code: Select all

inxi -S

and paste the output here.

I gave the solution for Cinnamon / Nemo few hours ago.

Ah, yes, in Cinnamon 2.6 you can do that by opening up Nemo (the file manager), choose "Preferences" under the Edit menu, choose "Display", and then tick "Show all available actions..." under "Context Menus". You'll then need to restart Nemo--easiest way would be to simply log out and then back in.
(Sorry for the interruption, Cosmo.)

No need to be sorry, Fred Barclay.
By your post I see, that the wording for the setting is "Display" (not "View"). That is repeatedly my problem, that I translate it from my German system, but finding the right wording is not always possible. (Hopefully I remember the wording the next time.)

It worked !! Thanks so much for your help.

Cinnamon 2.8.6, Mint 17.3, doesn't seem to have that selection in NEMO. is there another way to add copy to?

Yes, and it's very easy: in the rightclick menu in Nemo, click the plus sign in the right top corner. That'll give you the extended version of the context menu. It has what you want.
