Bug Description

In thunar, rox-filer and others filemanagers if you drag and drop one or several files over a script, the script runs automaticaly if it has execution permisions (and takes files like parameters in $@ like in bash).

In contextual menu, you can use the gnome Scripts menu for it, and works with the files you choose, but it is more intuitive if drags and drop the files directly to script.

In nautilus drag files in this way doen't nothing.

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. Unfortunately a paper cut should be a small usability issue that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. I'm afraid this bug can't be addressed as part of this project.

This is a feature request , not a papercut.

A paper cut is a minor usability annoyance that an average user would encounter on his/her first day of using a new installation of Ubuntu 9.10.

For further info about papercuts criteria , pls read > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut

Don't worry though, This bug has been marked as "invalid" ONLY in the papercuts project.
