Bug Description

Reroduce: (Ubuntu 13.04 B1)

1.- Connect an MTP device, I used an android device.
2.- use file manager to access the mounted device.
3.- observe that it is impossible to delete a file by pressing delete (key) , while using right-click, delete works.
4.- observe that you are unable to overwrite a file, you'll get an duplicate with "wrong" extension instead.

I am very glad that you finally added mtp as a standard part of Ubuntu.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

Regarding delete:
please check this out, and the comments below:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=696190

"That's probably because the backend doesn't support trashing, which is the
Ctrl+Delete action (some distros might have patched that back to use Delete
instead). Shift+Delete triggers the Delete action, and my guess is that will
work too."

the upstream bug got marked fixed, doing the same here since we have the current version (though upstream didn't link to specific commit on where/how it was resolved)

Actually not. This is fixed in upstream master, but not on the 1.16 branch so it's not in raring
