File Copy/Move option disappeared from Whonix Disposable VMs

Qubes 4.3 continues to test my patience. Has something happened to your team? Has the number of members decreased? I have never encountered so many bugs in such a short period of time as in this version. And I’ve been using Qubes for three years now, and no upgrade to a new version has ever caused so many problems.

Anyway! Now to the point! The next problem is that file copy/move option disappeared from the file context menu in disposable vms based on Whonix Workstation. I just updated Whonix stations a few days ago so can’t say if this bug already existed before update or appeared as a result of the update because I didn’t use copy/move function recently. I checked other qubes based on other templates and default-dvm. The function still works well there. It’s even still present in anon-whonix vm. Started Whonix disposable several times, specially created test text file and every time function was absent there, so only Whonix disposable vms effected. Workstation-dvm and regular workstation have the same boot mode. Also checked Global Configs. Its file access settings remain default.
So is this a bug or you changed something in default file sharing policy?

P.S. I’ll say just in case: all this happens in my so called “home Qubes 4.3” version, that upgraded in place. The other’s Qubes 4.3 (the one with external boot partition) issue still unresolved and it has no Internet connection, so the found bug was found not there

Which file manager are you using? Whonix is using pcmanfm-qt instead of thunar.

Yeah, you were right. Since this Qubes installation was upgraded in place, the Thunar file manager was left in app menu. Copy/Move function doesn’t work there anymore. Changed to PCManFM. It works there. Thanks.
Hope you guys can resolve that USB stick bug. Waiting when it will be diagnosed.
