GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 172799
improve drag and drop selection
Last modified: 2005-04-15 20:50:30 UTC
Version details: gtk+-2.6.4 Distribution/Version: SuSE Linux 9.3 Suppose you have a deep directory opened in Nautilus and you want to load/save file from there. File selector has only two droppable areas - Name: for save dialog (which drops string containing file:// and %20 instead of spaces, which is not accepted) and directory bookmarks. There is only one chance to quick change to this directory: - Add it to bookmarks - Click to it - Remove it from bookmarks It is complicated and non-intuitive. Proposal: Dropping directory to file selection (or fallback to all areas except bookmarks and Name:) should change the directory. Dropping file to file selection should change the directory and fill the Name:. Dropping file to Name: should properly fill the name, including special characters in the file path.
