File managers are nowhere near as productive or useful for managing
photos.  Shotwell is a good photo manager and is (or will be) the Ubuntu
default.

If it is impossible to get the underlying filename in the drag and drop
protocol from Shotwell then obviously nothing can be done.  But if it
can be obtained then this would make Openshot a lot more usable.
(Importing photos into openshot when you have several thousand in your
library and want to bring in a few hundred for a project is a pain.)

Title:
  Can't drag and drop images from shotwell

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  If I try to drag and drop images from shotwell then it doesn't work.
  I use shotwell to manage my images.

  Dragging from shotwell and dropping in the project files area results
  in the drop being rejected (thumbnail goes back to shotwell).  Trying
  to drop directly into the timeline results in a + overlay on the
  thumbnail before drop, but nothing happening on mouse release.

  Ubuntu 10.10 AMD64 openshot and shotwell from author PPAs.  OpenShot
  1.3.0.  Shotwell 0.8.1.
