@jonblondie; thx, well spotted, I have updated the bug description. ** Description changed:
If a user drags and drops a file on top of a Launcher app icon, the application should open the file if it is a file type it supports. If the application does not support the file type nothing should happen. Most of the time this interaction does not work. Occasionally it does work but it freezes the desktop requiring a unity restart. Tested using .png files with Firefox and GIMP, and .html files with Firefox and Chrome. + Note the new file should be opened in exactly the same manner as when + opening the file with the 'open with [app name]' Nautilus option, e.g. + when opening a .txt file by dropping it on to gedit, if there is already + one or more gedit window(s) open, the file should open into a tab on the + most recently focused gedit window. + 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. -- 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
