Description Tomasz Karbownicki 2009-03-02 13:07:10 CET 
You can't move multiple icons on desktop as it says in Xfce 4.6 Tour.
Comment 1 Brian J. Tarricone (not reading bugmail) 2009-03-02 22:02:21 CET 
Then the tour is incorrect.  Can you identify where in the tour it says this?  Jerome, any ideas?
Comment 2 Tomasz Karbownicki 2009-03-02 22:06:23 CET 
"Improved desktop experience with Xfdesktop
[...]With Xfce 4.6, the Xfdesktop manager finally implements this feature: you can select multiple icons, >>move them<<, remove them, etcetera..."
Comment 3 Jérôme Guelfucci editbugs 2009-03-03 06:32:38 CET 
Sorry again...

I just fixed this in the SVN of the website, someone needs to force the update of the website now.

I'll email the translators to get them fix the translations.

In XFCE 4.8.0, Xubuntu 11.04: When selecting several items on the desktop using the "rubber band" feature, and then dragging them, only 1 item is dragged.
Comment 8 Eric Koegel editbugs 2011-11-19 11:39:32 CET 
Created attachment 3978 
Modified xfdesktop_icon_view_drag_drop to allow all selected files to drag and drop.
