2011-04-18 10:15:36 John Lea description If a user drags and drops a file on top of a Launcher app icon, the application should open the file if it is a file type it supports. If the application does not support the file type nothing should happen. If a user drags and drops a file on top of a Launcher app icon, the application should open the file if it is a file type it supports. If the application does not support the file type nothing should happen. Most of the time this interaction does not work. Occasionally it does work but it freezes the desktop requiring a unity restart. Tested using .png files with Firefox and GIMP, and .html files with Firefox and Chrome.

UPDATE : Compiz screws up the handling when a drop happens at about the same time as the scale timeout goes off. It doesn't freeze so much as grab the mouse forever.

Note the new file should be opened in exactly the same manner as when opening the file with the 'open with [app name]' Nautilus option, e.g. when opening a .txt file by dropping it on to gedit, if there is already one or more gedit window(s) open, the file should open into a tab on the most recently focused gedit window.

If the application does not support the file type nothing should happen. Also at the moment many Launcher icons do not highlight when the user starts dragging, even if the application supports opening the file type being dragged. For example, if the user starts dragging a text file firefox and libreoffice writer should illuminate in addition to gedit. Another example is dragging a tarball; thunderbird should illuminate and if the tarball is dropped on the thunderbird icon it should open a new message with it as an attachment.

It doesn't freeze so much as grab the mouse forever. ----------------------------- Desired resolution: - create a new desktop key that details all file types that can be imported into an application. See Robert Carr's comments #1 and #4 for details. - For the following applications, ensure the information about which file types can be opened by a drag and drop operation is updated: LibreOffice, Thunderbird, Chormium, Firefox, Gedit, Image viewer, Shotwell, GIMP, Transmission, Terminal, Brasero Disk Burner, Archive Manager, Evolution, Rhythembox, VLC
