GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 140370
There's no way to drag the current Spatial Nautilus folder
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Spatial Nautilus does not provide a way of dragging the folder being visited without first opening its parent. This is easily verifiable: Just open any Nautilus window, such as your home directory. Then you can't drag your home from anywhere. First, you must go up one level, find your home inside this level, and then drag it. Since the window manager is not considering drag-and-drop operation when it comes to drag the whole window, I think Nautilus should provide a special element in the current view, that could be dragged, representing the current window. It could be a little folder icon somewhere. This could make much easier to manage folders (ie: visiting a music album, and then dragging it to Totem, etc) Other opinions?
Thanks for the bug report. This is a known issue and dup of bug 129421. There is also the issue of getting properties and performing folder operations on the current folder without having to go to the parent directory and right-click the folder (which was touched upon in http://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus-list/2004-May/msg00032.html ). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 129421 ***
