Description Bastien Nocera 2006-09-16 20:39:12 UTC 
gtk2-2.10.3-1

1. Launch an application with a save dialogue (eg. gedit)
2. Open the save dialogue
3. DnD a (local) file from nautilus onto the entry
4. Get URI in the entry (encoded), instead of going to the directory, selecting the file, and putting just the filename in the entry.
Comment 1 Paolo Borelli 2007-09-16 15:10:30 UTC 
works fine for me here with gtk 2.12...
Comment 2 Timothy Arceri 2013-06-01 12:21:13 UTC 
Works with with gtk 3.6 too looks like this was fixed long ago.
Comment 3 Timothy Arceri 2013-06-01 12:25:37 UTC 
Sorry it only works if dnd to the file section widget. Dragging to location entry just creates URI.
Comment 4 Timothy Arceri 2013-06-01 12:28:11 UTC 
*** Bug 529363 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 5 Timothy Arceri 2013-06-01 12:31:36 UTC 
At very least the URI should not be encoded
Comment 6 Timothy Arceri 2013-06-01 12:35:30 UTC 
bug 582541 could probably be fixed at the same time as this one.
Comment 7 Matthias Clasen 2018-02-10 05:14:09 UTC 
We're moving to gitlab! As part of this move, we are moving bugs to NEEDINFO if they haven't seen activity in more than a year. If this issue is still important to you and still relevant with GTK+ 3.22 or master, please reopen it and we will migrate it to gitlab.
Comment 8 Matthias Clasen 2018-04-15 00:02:22 UTC 
As announced a while ago, we are migrating to gitlab, and bugs that haven't seen activity in the last year or so will be not be migrated, but closed out in bugzilla.

If this bug is still relevant to you, you can open a new issue describing the symptoms and how to reproduce it with gtk 3.22.x or master in gitlab:
