[Bug 920691] Re: Nautilus has no Bookmark target until CTRL+D

 

Sebastien has added back the duplicate flag I removed, even though this
is incorrect. Indeed this is the direct opposite of the other bug, if
you take into account the feature discussion at Gnome, which split
bookmark drag functionality into two. The one they decided to preserve
is broken by the bug I'm reporting, at least for the first bookmark.

I'll leave it to the team to decide how to manage their bugs. If they
want to flag a different bug as the same thing that's their business. I
would say it's harder to manage code this way, though.

Title:
  Nautilus has no Bookmark target until CTRL+D

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Running a stock Oneiric version of Nautilus. I find that dragging
  Folders into the left pane never creates a bookmark.

  Previously, I think I could drag folders 'in between' other folders in
  the left pane, seeing a black line indicating where the new bookmark
  would be placed.

  Now it's impossible to find a drag/drop target which creates a
  bookmark from a stock Oneiric until first running the keyboard
  shortcut CTRL+D to add an item. Once an item exists, a Bookmarks
  section appears in the Nautilus left pane, and then I can drag
  subsequent bookmarks under this heading.

  For Bookmarks to be a usable feature, there should be some kind of
  GUI-based technique to create them. Currently it requires deep
  understanding of Nautilus keyboard shortcuts to begin with.
