Adding "Drag to Save"
Last modified: 2005-12-22 14:50:17 UTC
It would be useful to have some sort of "handle" to drag out of the File Chooser when dong a Save or Save As action. When I work with an app that creates files I usually already have the destination directory open in a Spatial Nautilus window somewhere in the background; it would really be simpler for me to write the name (if necessary) and then drag the "handle" to the directory, rather than work my way (clickety-clickety-click) to the destination directory again :-) This functionality is pretty much the same as that described in the Rox filer/desktop specifications: http://rox.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/index.php/HintsAndTips I guess the drag-save handle could be a small icon next to the file name, with a suitable tooltip such as "drag this handle to the destination to save", to add discoverability to a function that while useful would be largely a question of habit. I don't have the skill or knowledge to know if it is really difficult to do or not, but I hope this coud be added without much effort. Thanks, Renato Ramonda
