Bug Description

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS
Brasero Disc Burning

While starting a new DVD Data project in Brasero, I dragged a folder from the "Desktop" into the program (into the disc project). As I changed my mind directly afterwards and pressed delete to remove the folder from the project it was sent to the trash can. From there to move it back to the "Desktop" it took me 15minutes as the folder was 4.4gb.

Shouldn't dragging a folder from the desktop into Brasero simply add the folder to the list of things to be burnt onto the disc?
And deleting a folder from the list, should it really send it to the trash can?

Hmm, now when trying to reproduce it I'm thinking it was probably that
after dragging the file from the desktop into the brasero project, it
is still highlighted/marked on the desktop and pressing delete moves
it from there to the trash can. As the file/folder is highlighted in
the brasero project aswell after dragging it there, it seems it would
be that which attracts the attention of "delete" and not what's on the
desktop.

What probably happened was that I didn't realize at first the folder
was deleted from the desktop, while pressing delete in order to erase
it from the project, and might have pressed delete twice. (as deleting
it from brasero will be the second time pressing "delete").

Sorry for reporting it as a bug. It should probably have been a
recommendation/opinion sent to the developers of Brasero, had I
realized in the first place that dragging a folder onto the project
still maintains the folders attention in its original place, even
though it's highlighted in the Brasero project aswell. A bit
misleading perhaps.

thanks.
