GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 590283
drag files over scripts doesn't run the script
Last modified: 2021-06-18 15:14:04 UTC
In thunar, rox-filer and others filemanagers if you drag and drop one or several files over a script, the script runs automaticaly if it has execution permisions (and takes files like parameters in $@ like in bash). In contextual menu, you can use the gnome Scripts menu for it, and works with the files you choose, but it is more intuitive if drags and drop the files directly to script. In nautilus drag files in this way doen't nothing. Other information: This was originally filed as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/389320
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version of Files (nautilus), then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
