I need to drag & drop images from eog's simple viewer

Hi, I often wants to drag & drop files from the simple viewing mode of eog. I mean, I would be a great feature to be able to click on the photo and drop it on an other soft, like g-spot (typically to add photo to a collection).
also great to drop an image on a directory to copy it into the location
I second this. For example, picking out photos from a larger collection for sending to others (drop photos to another folder or USB memory stick). This is an use case that current functionality ("save as") nor nautilus supports easily. Nautilus has way lower resolution on thumbnails, making it difficult to differentiate between "good" and "bad" photos (blurred, shaken, or a person not in group photo who you're sending photos to). Whereas "save as" defaults no filename.
i'd also need this, sending images to instant messaging contacts would be so much easier. i always have to look up the image in the folder and then drag'n'drop it.
Not that you couldn't use the thumbnail pane for this, but when viewing a single image it could be quite annoying. Implemented in trunk. This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report. 2008-10-26 Claudio Saavedra <csaavedra@igalia.com> * src/eog-scroll-view.c: (+view_on_drag_begin_cb), (+view_on_drag_data_get_cb), (eog_scroll_view_new): Make EogScrollView a dnd data source.
