[Bug 203938] Re: Nautilus Drag and Drop Improvement
I know this isn't exactly what the topic was about, but can Nautilus at least have a feature where a folder can be opened by dragging a file onto the folder and holding it there for a moment or two? KDE 3 already has this feature, so I don't see any patent problems at first glance. -- Nautilus Drag and Drop Improvement https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203938 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

you should search for other patents around the topic, but as written before that's the wrong place for a such discussion and if upstream doesn't feel comfortable doing that due to patents they likely have a reason -- Nautilus Drag and Drop Improvement https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203938 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 203938] Re: Nautilus Drag and Drop Improvement
Thank you Sebastien, I've been reading in the upstream bug and it seems that this thing has been discussed for a while, but I don't see any clear conclusion. First of all reading the patent 6061061 below, I don't thing that we would be using any temporary window so this patent shouldn't apply, perhaps that how KDE implemented it. patent 6061061 A new behavior in a graphical user interface allows the user to open and close enclosures, while dragging an object. When the user pauses, gestures, or rolls over a hot spot on top of an icon or text representing a closed enclosure, a TEMPORARY WINDOW for the closed enclosure is sprung open to allow the user to browse inside the enclosure and possible open another enclosure contained within the temporary window. This process can be carried on throughout a hierarchy of windows as the user browses for a destination window for the drag operation. All of the TEMPORARY WINDOWS except the destination are closed when the mouse button is released, signaling the end of a drag. The user may close sprung open windows by simply moving the cursor out of the sprung open window, or by making some other gesture. If an enclosure to be sprung open was previously open on the desktop, the previously opened window may zoom over to the current mouse position, and then return to its original position when the user mouse is out of the window. I think that making hovering an object over another one for X time the same effect as a click, is a much more general (and powerful) feature and this patent doesn't apply. -- Nautilus Drag and Drop Improvement https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203938 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 203938] Re: Nautilus Drag and Drop Improvement
I checked both patents 6,061,061 and 5,583,984 and in both cases the description is the same. In the abstract of both patents they always remark about opening TEMPORARY Windows. That's not our case from my point of view. We could just left open all our windows, so they wouldn't be temporal. In both patents they don't say nothing about making the same action as clicking buttons while dragging an object over it. -- Nautilus Drag and Drop Improvement https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203938 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I've been looking for the patent you mentioned. Could you pass me a link regarding this patents information? I've found that yahoo is trying to patent some kind of smart drag and drop but I couldn't understand what is all about. Anyway the Gnome Taskbar already has this kind of behaviour, while dragging any file over the taskbar, windows get maximized or focused automatically after waiting 1 sec. I don't know if this already affects the problematic patent. What will be next?

** Description changed: Binary package hint: nautilus - I would be great to improve nautilus drag and drop features when trying + It would be great to improve nautilus drag and drop features when trying to move or copy files within folders. My suggestion is to implement automatic folder opening while dragging files. We have a folder structure as follows: Root folder: --A folder ---B folder ---C folder --Text file We want to move or copy the text file into the C folder. It would be great that if we only have one Nautilus window opened that shows the contents of the root folder (A folder and Text file), we could move the text file just dragging it into the A folder, wait for 1 second to open A folder automatically and then dropping the file into B folder.

Just making that while dragging any item and waiting 1 sec over a menu or icon the same effect as mouse click (or double click over icon) would give us a very powerful tool. We could do for example when sending an email: Drag a file by clicking and holding the left mouse button. Move the mouse over the evolution Icon. Wait 1 sec (Evolution which was closed, opens) Move mouse over new message button Wait 1 sec (New message window opens) Release mouse button. Now we have a new message with the file we selected as attachment. This is just an example of which type of things we could do. -- Nautilus Drag and Drop Improvement https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203938 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
