If the application does not support the file type nothing should happen. Also at the moment many Launcher icons do not highlight when the user starts dragging, even if the application supports opening the file type being dragged. For example, if the user starts dragging a text file firefox and libreoffice writer should illuminate in addition to gedit. Another example is dragging a tarball; thunderbird should illuminate and if the tarball is dropped on the thunderbird icon it should open a new message with it as an attachment. UPDATE : Compiz screws up the handling when a drop happens at about the same time as the scale timeout goes off. It doesn't freeze so much as grab the mouse forever. ----------------------------- Desired resolution: - create a new desktop key that details all file types that can be imported into an application. See Robert Carr's comments #1 and #4 for details. - For the following applications, ensure the information about which file types can be opened by a drag and drop operation is updated: LibreOffice, Thunderbird, Chormium, Firefox, Gedit, Image viewer, Shotwell, GIMP, Transmission, Terminal, Brasero Disk Burner, Archive Manager, Evolution, Rhythembox, VLC To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/764424/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
