GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 40914
Icons should be semi-transparent when dragged.
Last modified: 2008-02-13 15:42:26 UTC
The current code uses a cutoff of "width * height < 4096". Can we live with this? There's a FIXME about this in nautilus-icon-dnd.c. ------- Additional Comments From darin@bentspoon.com 2000-06-26 17:56:51 ---- *** Bug 41411 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** ------- Additional Comments From darin@bentspoon.com 2000-06-26 17:57:11 ---- Arlo says in bug 41411 that this is not something we can live with. ------- Additional Comments From andy@eazel.com 2000-08-17 14:16:57 ---- There are two ways to do with this - either remove the stippling, which would be trivial, or to do the drag ourselves (instead of gtk dragging) while in the window (in which case we could use real alpha transparency, which would look gorgeous), but it would be inconsistent once the icon left the window. A third alternative, fixing X, is too hard to consider. So, with a heavy heart, I agree we should just remove it. ------- Additional Comments From andy@eazel.com 2000-09-11 11:38:04 ---- I'm going to remove the semi-transparent drag, but leave this bug open post 1.0 to get it back in the future. ------- Additional Comments From andy@eazel.com 2000-09-11 11:56:27 ---- renaming this and deferring to post 1.0 ------- Additional Comments From eli@eazel.com 2000-10-16 20:12:09 ---- Batch-assigning QA ownership of remaining bugs to eli@eazel.com ------- Additional Comments From darin@bentspoon.com 2001-01-04 16:48:02 ---- This is not a FIXME bug. ------- Additional Comments From eli@eazel.com 2001-02-21 11:14:39 ---- QA Assigning to brett.

This should be trivial -- once X supports it. Also, this is the solution to bug 47897.
The fixme doesn't exist any more, but the idea is still valid.
With xorg is it now time to play with transparency?

from #310116: "Since gtk 2.7.x [1] supports rgba cursors it would be great if nautilus can take advantage of this during drag&drop operations. This will be especially useful when you drag something to the panel (like a file to be opened with gedit) because you actually can't see if the drop it's in the right position, same goes for typical copy/move operations in nautilus.

Perhaps the space around the icons could be high lighted instead when the moved icon come in range? See attached mock up. You will have to imagine that an icon is moved to the "far side" folder. This would make it very fast to move files, as the user wouldn't have to hit the destination folder exactly.
Created attachment 53208 [details] Mock up when an icon is moved in the range of the "far side" folder.
Created attachment 53209 [details] Dragged file to folder which gets an arrow when the file come in range. Or perhaps the destination folder gets an arrow when the moved file come in range? This have the advantage that the destination folder icon won't have to be covered by the dragged icon. Also the arrow will indicate visually what will happen to the file. See attached mock up.

Well spotted Fabio. Since the duplicate is in Gnome 2.12 you can raise the version here to 2.12 as well (I will do this now)
