Bug ID: 399808
Summary: Dragging an image file into wallpaper picker dialog
shows an "not allowed" cursor
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: Image Wallpaper
Assignee: notm...@gmail.com
Reporter: acidrums4+st...@gmail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
I remember not long agou you couldn't drag an image file (say, from Dolphin)
into the wallpaper picker to be able to choose it as a wallpaper.
That was fixed but I just recently noticed that, because there is a tiny
caveat: while dragging the image file over the wallpaper picker dialog/widget,
it will turn the cursor as a "not-allowed" one - but still, if you release the
image file there, it will appear as a new option to set a wallpaper.
For the sake of usability, I think not only the cursor thing should be fixed
(and changed to a default cursor), but there should be some sort of feedback
about the ability of that wallpaper picker widget for receiving dragged image
files, so users can know they're doing something the widget is able to do - for
example, highlighting the widget, turning its background color to a 'selected'
or 'highlighted' colour, or something like that.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Right-click your desktop and select "Configure desktop" and select "Desktop
wallpaper". It should be configured as "Slideshow" or "Still image" (this
happens on those two cases; I don't know how all those buttons and things are
actually named in english Plasma releases).
2. Pick an image from your file browser and drag them to the wallpaper widget
(the area where available wallpaper images are shown).
OBSERVED RESULT
Cursor is turned to a "not-allowed" state while dragging an image file over it.
EXPECTED RESULT
Cursor should keep its "default" state, or something that lets the user know
they can drag image files into it. Also, some sort of feedback from the widget
should reinforce that idea on users so they can be sure they're doing something
allowed and when they can release the image so the widget will catch it
(highlighting the widget area, for example).
