I think, the basics of this bug are solved. However, we still have a bit of an unfinished issue.
To detect which launcher app icons support certain file types we use the "MimeType" Desktop File Entry, for a list of Mime types the application supports. This is somewhat of a misnomer. The Mime type key is also used for "open with" functionality. This doesn't really map 1/1 with drag and drop. For example, I would not want to open a tarball with thunderbird. I would however expect that in terms of drag and drop, thunderbird would accept a tarball (and perhaps open a new message with it as an attachment). I think it is worth creating a new Desktop key, to enable us to have a richer annotation. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/764424 Title: Launcher - dropping a file on a launcher app icon should open that file in the app To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/764424/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
