GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 150221
Drag to Browse
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
In Non-spatial nautilus, dragging an item onto a location for an extended period of time should cause naitlus to brose to that location so that you can drop it in a sub-folder of that location.
This mecanism is called "spring-loaded folders", and is patented by Apple (unfortunately), so it won't be implemented anytime soon in the official gnome (maybe you can find patches for it in some places though).
