I've had no major problems with dnd in fileroller and Gutsy, seems to work fine for me... except on root nautilus windows. what I mean, if I was to type in a terminal sudo nautilus, browse to a folder where a .tar.gz file is located, double click on it (which theoretically should open file-roller as root as well). Then I cannot drag and drop from that instance of file roller to the root nautilus window. For now I am still able to type sudo file-roller filename.tar.gz and hit the extract button as a workaround.

About the Cannot extract archives in a remote folder foldername on drag and drop...

This would be great, if it could be included for Gutsy. Since it just adds a protocol, regressions don't seem to be probable.

Ubuntu may face a bad review on osnews ;D OK, now seriously. As I've wrote, I tried looking into this myself. This is FAR from trivial. Nautilus source isn't the cleanest code on earth, especially that DnD part. There exists and old patch to add XdndDirectSave to nautilus, but it's just too old, and doesn't work at all (not sure if it ever did). So I am not surprised no one managed to fix this in the last GNOME release cycle, Sure Canonical could hire a developer to fix this problem, but their resources are limited too I guess. So, in short, this is the case where UBUNTU/GNOME NEEDS YOUR HELP! What I don't like about Ubuntu developers though, this bug is marked as 'Medium' importance. This is ridiculous.

[Bug 13199] Re: Drag n' Drop directories from File-Roller is somewhat tricky
I found Xarchiver to be a capable replacement. It doesn't drag drop as well, but at least you can press the 'extract' button and actually have some files extracted. With file-roller there is currently -no way- to extract files. You can't drag drop, clicking the extract button brings up a dialog that refuses to extract files. Hence: you can't extract files. At least one of the bugs in file-roller should be fixed before feisty's release or the whole package should be removed from the default install (preferbly replaced by Xarchiver). PS. Why can't we use an older version of file-roller? At least the extract-button used to work. See also bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file-roller/+bug/74002 It doesn't work anymore either. So 99% of the users won't be able to extract files. I would prefer a fix to the extract-button thingie at least, but otherwise I strongly suggest we replace this package with Xarchiver. If it doesn't get fixed, I know I will be replacing this on all the desktops I manage. (including a small office). I really can't tell these people to 'workaround' bugs and advocate the use of Ubuntu instead of Windows at the same time.

[Bug 13199] Re: Drag n' Drop directories from File-Roller is somewhat tricky
I don't mean to sound like some unwilling-to-contribute-will-just-whine sort of user, but frankly, Canonical should be writing the patch if nobody has stepped up to do so yet. While one of the advantages of open source from a user's perspective is that you can fix bugs on your own given the time, one of the advantages of open source as a business model is that you have the code to all of your product's (Ubuntu's) bundled software, so you're not stuck waiting for upstream to implement their own fix while you have deadlines to keep. Dapper is going to be a supported release for 3 years. I think it's in your own interest not to ship a broken product. -- Drag n' Drop directories from File-Roller is somewhat tricky https://launchpad.net/bugs/13199 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 13199] Re: Drag n' Drop directories from File-Roller is somewhat tricky
This bug needs to be fixed for dapper -- drag and drop is the most usable way of extracting files. It's a serious usability problem for this to be broken, especially since file roller gives the illusion of the file being extracted even though it's not. -- Drag n' Drop directories from File-Roller is somewhat tricky https://launchpad.net/bugs/13199 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 13199] Re: Drag n' Drop directories from File-Roller is somewhat tricky
adding my voice to the crowd: this is really an annoying bug/misfeature.. (i've meant to file it as a bug report, bug found out it's already exists) can you please put some pressure on upstream to fix it? thanks in advance! -- Drag n' Drop directories from File-Roller is somewhat tricky https://launchpad.net/bugs/13199 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

gah.. this bug is open since 2003! can it be closed in time for dapper? -- Drag n' Drop directories from File-Roller is somewhat tricky https://launchpad.net/bugs/13199 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
