Paste issue and UX proposal

Hey, this is pretty much the fastest and most reliable open source files app. 👍 I push it to everybody I'm convincing to go FOSS.

Another option would be to just write "Paste" on the bottom row before the paste icon, but that would make it inconsistent with the top bar cut/copy/delete icons which don't have enough space for text:
