  When a file is dragged on the panel, only its associated application can be raised and used with while the others are desaturated and useless.
  This is too much restrictive. The desaturated effect is very useful but should not prevent applications to be interactive.

  For instance, if I drag a picture on the panel, I can only open it with some graphical applications while one would want to insert it in a libreoffice document or in a terminal or move it to home folder.
  This is particularly relevant when the desired application is minimized or on another desktop.
