Description Rüdiger Schulz 2008-01-09 00:18:01 UTC 
When I have an archive opened in file roller, I'd like to drag and drop selected contents (files and directories) directly into Nautilus.

Currently, I can drag, but if I drop into a folder, the hand cursor just flies back to file roller.

This would be much easier than copying of the directory path, clicking extract, pasting the path and hitting enter. Too much mouse/keyboard switching, where a simple drag would do.


Other information:
Winzip and Windows Explorer have this at least since Winzip for Windows 95 came out :P
