Three notes: 1. Ubuntu has addressed this in 21.04 by shipping gnome-shell-extension- desktop-icons-ng by default.
2. Note that you can fix this yourself in any earlier version of Ubuntu by installing that extension directly from extensions.gnome.org ( https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/2087/desktop-icons-ng-ding/ ) and disabling the older version shipped with Ubuntu. 3. This is GNOME's fault, not Ubuntu's fault, so bitching at Ubuntu about it is not helpful or useful. It's not practical for Ubuntu to keep using obsolete versions of GNOME when the GNOME developers introduce regressions like this, and it's not feasible for Ubuntu to fix all of the regressions that the GNOME developers introduce. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1813441 Title: Can no longer drag and drop files between desktop and applications Status in gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons: New Status in gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: In releases before 19.04, you could drag and drop files from the desktop into applications.
