Make it possible to add links to folders as Bookmarks with drag&drop
Last modified: 2017-08-18 19:25:50 UTC
I have a created a link to a folder. If I drag & drop it at bookmarks then it does nothing. However, if I open the link and select the "Bookmark this location" option then it works fine. Is it possible to make it work with drag & drop too?
Just giving some more info since this changed project. This is happening with Nautilus. Caja and nemo file manager work fine when you drag&drop folders and links to the bookmarks locations.
Indeed, but I bet they don't use GtkPlacesSidebar, whereas Nautilus does. Here I have the following results from two things that do use PlacesSidebar: * Nautilus can bookmark a folder * Nautilus cannot bookmark a link to a folder * A GtkFileChooserDialog in multiple-selection mode can't bookmark anything ...because it treats the drag as drawing a selection rectangle. :S Yuk. * A GtkFileChooserDialog in single-selection mode can drag a folder, but it will not actually put it into the bookmarks. * ditto for a GtkFileChooserDialog in single-selection mode with a link-to-folder.

Bah, no sooner than I wrote that, I tested it again, and it seems to work now... Either it's sporadic, or I spaced out before. Both are equally likely! > * ditto for a GtkFileChooserDialog in single-selection mode with a > link-to-folder. This still doesn't work, as for Nautilus.
