It's not a duplicate of the other bug it was linked to, so I have removed that link. This is a feature regression, is confusing and inconsistent, (perhaps this doesn't qualify it as a bug). The other 'bug' relates to not being able to use bookmarks for moving files/folders around the filesystem by dragging them onto Nautilus bookmarks (which was is a deliberate choice by Gnome). My 'bug' is that it's impossible to even ADD a bookmark by dragging, which is the feature Gnome chose to preserve in this discussion! It only applies to the FIRST bookmark. Once you have added one folder, then drag-to-link becomes possible under the Bookmarks heading. Even accepting the Gnomic logic about the ambiguity of drag-to-link versus drag-to-move, they chose to favour drag-to-link. Making it impossible to drag-to-link the FIRST bookmark isn't consistent with their logic. It's to do with the build of Ubuntu which makes Home, Desktop, Documents, Downloads not 'Bookmarks', but something different under 'Computer' - a collection of shortcuts which prevent drag-to-link, and facilitate drag-to-move. As it turns out, you can't create new items under the Computer heading at all, I think. Quite a mess. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/920691 Title: Nautilus has no Bookmark target until CTRL+D Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Running a stock Oneiric version of Nautilus. I find that dragging Folders into the left pane never creates a bookmark. Previously, I think I could drag folders 'in between' other folders in the left pane, seeing a black line indicating where the new bookmark would be placed. Now it's impossible to find a drag/drop target which creates a bookmark from a stock Oneiric until first running the keyboard shortcut CTRL+D to add an item. Once an item exists, a Bookmarks section appears in the Nautilus left pane, and then I can drag subsequent bookmarks under this heading. For Bookmarks to be a usable feature, there should be some kind of GUI-based technique to create them. Currently it requires deep understanding of Nautilus keyboard shortcuts to begin with.
