[Bug 1301083] Re: Drag and Drop File Auto Opens Folders
@joshu aghora (josh-gura) Well it seems that the Ubuntu Gnome team has no plans to fix this for 16.04 LTS. You can either add the Gnome Team staging :ppa from Launchpad and upgrade Gnome to 3.20 (not ideal, because it might break the system) or move to another distro. I am still running the same Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 installation that I had when I reported this bug 7 months ago and I've learnt to live with it. But it's still very annoying and I am considering switching to Open Suse Leap with Gnome 3.20 because of this bug and other problems that I am currently having with Ubuntu Gnome. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1301083 Title: Drag and Drop File Auto Opens Folders To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1301083/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

This is still a bug. No, it is NOT a feature if anybody from Gnome happens to be reading. Ubuntu 16.04, Gnome3 Usually if I am moving files to a new folder, i hesitate to confirm to myself if the move is really what i want to do, then in the blink of an eye i have navigated inside the folder without even wanting to. Talk about a "feature" that I don't desire in an operating system.

@Sebastien Bacher I'm on Ubuntu Gnome 16.04. The Nautilus version is 3.14.3 and there is no 'open-folder-on-dnd-hover' setting at the dconf.

This bug makes organizing files with Nautilus on Ubuntu 16.04 irritating. It's been 2 years since the original bug report. Can somebody please look into this? Pretty please with sugar on top! If this behavior is considered a feature by the Nautilus team, then at least give us an option in the settings to set a time delay before the folders open on hover. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1301083 Title: Drag and Drop File Auto Opens Folders To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1301083/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1301083] Re: Drag and Drop File Auto Opens Folders
I like this as a feature. But it leads me often to mistakes, dropping in a subfulder. A good resolution would be that if one folder opens, the subfolder under the cursor is gray and inactive, if i release the mouse it is dropped in the current folder. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1301083 Title: Drag and Drop File Auto Opens Folders To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1301083/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1301083] Re: Drag and Drop File Auto Opens Folders
moving files by dragging it to folder, most of the time resulted in wrong target directory. DIR1/ DIR2/ - DIR3/ File DIR4/ First case: I want to move file by dragging to DIR2. While dragging, DIR2 will open and show DIR3 and DIR4. Then I release it, where is the file now? DIR2.. wrong, the file in DIR4 (nautilus open folder below the mouse) Second case (suppose i like auto open folder on drag :) ): I want to move file to folder DIR3/. I drag File above DIR2/, wait DIR2 to open. Showed DIR3 and DIR4, moving mouse to DIR3.. but ps DIR4/ opened too quick, the file goes to DIR4 again :) I hope there is better solution for this Thanks -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1301083 Title: Drag and Drop File Auto Opens Folders To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1301083/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

This bug just caused me to loose hundreds of old photos when I deleted a subfolder that I had previously checked as being duplicates, but it had somehow been filled with photos I wanted when it opened unexpectedly. I cannot get these photos back.

[Bug 1301083] Re: Drag and Drop File Auto Opens Folders
This bug is infuriating. It makes Nautilus unusable for any task involving organizing files / folders. Time is wasted backing out of folders every time you drag and drop a file.

[Bug 1301083] Re: Drag and Drop File Auto Opens Folders
This is an extremely annoying problem! The default should be to NOT automatically open folders during drag-and-drop. How about letting the user decide how long to hover before opening the folder?

[Bug 1301083] Re: Drag and Drop File Auto Opens Folders
How can this even be importance low? Doesn't anybody realize the huge SECURITY RISK this bug involves? You drag a file onto a folder, for just a fraction of a second more than the time it takes for the folder to auto-open. Then you drop it, but when you do, the folder has just opened and you have accidentally dropped the file onto a subfolder within the folder. Unless you double check, you may not realize where you have moved the file and you may loose it forever. You may have moved it (without realizing) into a subfolder that you will later delete, without knowing it contains a file that you never intended to move into it. This is DISASTROUS. We already know that Nautilus development has degenerated into complete dementia, and that until it gets repleced with something else in Ubuntu, it constantly needs patching to revert regressions like this one (which are made on purpose, because of demential design). But an issue like this should be considered high importance, if not critical, as it can lead to DATA LOSS. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1301083 Title: Drag and Drop File Auto Opens Folders To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1301083/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME.
