[Ayatana] drag to open-with

["frederik.nnaji@xxxxxxxxx" <frederik.nnaji@xxxxxxxxx>]

We can't drag a file onto a launcher in the Unity dock to open them with the application represented by that launcher..
Why is that so?
Comparing Unity with GNOME-Ubuntu, this is a clear regression in my eyes.

Launchers are less intelligent, if they don't function as Drag n Drop destinations also. That might be a constraint by design, but i can't think of a purpose for that constraint.
Since open-with never really received much attention anyway, being the bridge between content and application, at least the drag and drop functionality should be revisited in this respect.

It is a very simple concept:
I drag a file onto the "Gimp" launcher, and i can do stuff with it in gimp. same goes for the other way round, i.e. i drag the Gimp launcher onto a file, and intuitively expect the content file to be managed and presented to me in the good old Gimp fashion.

Drag and Drop needs to be tended to carefully, so i can understand if this functionality is underway, but has simply not *yet* been implemented.
But if plans are to not make the launchers in the Unity dock drop destinations, then i'd really want to know why not.
