Yes, while dragging under Ubuntu 11.10 just a .desktop file is created, referring to an IMAP link. This is of course useless because even if the system would know how to access IMAP links there are no login credentials provided. Anything else but link creation does not work at all. I consider this critical. BTW, drag-and-drop within thunderbird works nicely, and when doubleclicking a file gets correctly copied to /tmp and opened. For drag-and-drop to nautilus or anywhere else this should just go a step further, providing the link to the /tmp location of the file, then leaving the rest up to the system.
For the records, the contents of a .desktop files looks like this (confident content replaced): [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=Verknüpfung mit [filename] Type=Link URL=imap://[email-address]@imap.googlemail.com:993/fetch%3EUID%3E/INBOX%3E2930?part=1.2&filename=[filename] Icon=text-html I desperately hope this gets fixed anytime soon. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/151162 Title: drag n drop attachments is broken Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News: Confirmed Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: thunderbird Dragging and dropping an attachment produces a draggable icon which, when released to the desktop, disappears. So, it looks like drag n drop is going to work... but it doesn't. Attachments must be saved in other ways (right-click and using open/save dialog box, etc.). Attachments should either not turn into draggable icons, or else drag 'n' drop attachments should actually work.
