Status:
RESOLVED: FIXED
Severity:

Xfce4-panel

Description Jannis Pohlmann editbugs 2006-01-30 08:41:18 CET
Currently, you can drag and drop items from xfce4-appfinder to the config dialog
of starters. Anyway, you still can't do this:

  1. Drag and drop items from xfce4-apppfinder to the panel in order to create a
new starter,
  2. drag and drop items from one starter config dialog to another

Would be cool if this could be implemented in the near future.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try dragging items from appfinder to the panel
--
2. Try dragging items from one starter config dialog to another
Actual Results:  
1. Nothing happens, dropping of the item is rejected
--
2. Nothing happens, the item is rejected

Expected Results:  
1. A new starter is created with the appfinder item as first record
--
2. The item is moved (or at least copied) to the other config dialog

> 1. Drag and drop items from xfce4-apppfinder to the panel in order to create
a new starter

This is hard to do, since we need free space on the panel and we need to know the difference between a file from the appfinder and a regular .desktop file, that a user may want to drag to a launcher.

> 2. drag and drop items from one starter config dialog to another 

Yeah, this would be nice, as well as rearranging items in one dialog by drag and drop.

I most likely won't have time to do this for 4.4.0, though.

3. Open a "auto hide" panel if something is to be dropped on it...

Currently, DnD to a collapsed panel does not open the panel, which disables dropping something on it...

Not really. It's still a good request though ;-)

More or less all of this is/should be resolved in the 4.8 panel. Dnd to the panel to create a launcher works, dnd between launcher dialogs not, because I hardly see any use of that.

Devel branch has been merged in master. A 4.7.0 release will follow soon. If you think this bug is not fixed? Feel free to reopen the bug.
