Description joh 2004-04-12 21:16:18 UTC 
When you drag an URL from anywhere within Galeon to the desktop or a Nautilus
window, Nautilus creates an laucher for it. Fine. But it takes the URL as the
name of the URL, which gives long and ugly icon titles. The right thing would be
to use the title of the web page for that, not the URL. I do not know if this is
a problem of Nautilus or one of Galeon (or one of the communication between
both) but I think I report it anyway.

This is nautilius not understanding the format that mozilla and galeon use for
the  "_NETSCAPE_URL" drag type.

We use:

"url\ntitle"
Comment 2 joh 2004-04-15 00:51:42 UTC 
So is this a Nautilus bug? Or is there another format which Galeon/Mozilla could
use for that and which would gain a correct result with Nautilus?
Comment 3 Crispin Flowerday (not receiving bugmail) 2004-04-15 08:09:28 UTC 
Hmm, I have to admit that I was just assuming that nautilus uses the
_NETSCAPE_URL drag type, although I didn't check.

If someone can point me to where nautilus handles drags to the desktop and
windows, I'll check out what is happening in the dnd interaction.

Isn't this related to or a dup of the mozilla/nautilus bounty bug 127553?
Comment 5 Matthew Gatto 2004-08-06 05:52:29 UTC 
... is now.
