[REGRESSION] Dragging files from file-roller into thunar doesn't work anymore
Status:
RESOLVED: FIXED

Description Harald Judt 2012-10-26 15:57:24 CEST
Before 1.5.0, it was possible to drag files out of file-roller into the thunar window, and file-roller would start unpacking them. In thunar-1.5.0 this doesn't work anymore. Other applications might be affected by this too.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Open thunar, open archive file (tar.bz2, tar.gz, zip, whatever) with file-roller
2) Select a file or directory and drag it out of the file-roller window into the thunar window (standard view).

Expected results:
A border appears around the standard view, indicating that thunar will accept the files file-roller feeds them. After releasing the mouse button, file-roller starts doing its work and unpacks the selected file or directory.

Actual results:
thunar rejects the file or directory, file-roller remains silent and nothing gets unpacked.

Does file roller use XdndDirectSave0 protocol?

See http://git.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/commit/thunar/thunar-standard-view.c?id=dfd6faa57224a9c3a697e9781aa4bd7525d9832b.
