Hi All,

Does the IBM File net ICN or IER support copy/cut & paste feature ? if yes; is it something that is supported by default or has to be custom made ?

Thanks

Hi,

From a standard ICN user perspective, drag & drop is supported for moving documents within the repository.
What is not typically available by default is a true Windows Explorer-like cut/copy/paste action exposed to end users via the standard right-click menu.

So, in practice:

  • Move via drag & drop: yes

  • Clipboard-style cut/copy/paste from the default UI: generally no, or not exposed by default

  • Custom behavior: possible through ICN plug-ins/custom actions

As usual, this can vary depending on the desktop configuration, repository type, and permissions.

Hope this helps
