Missing Folder Drag and Drop from Taskbar within GNOME Classic

[HX_unbanned]

Binary package hint: nautilus

I just found out that I could not manage to do the following:

- move mouse cursor inside Nautilus application in taskbar
- select the window and drag it on top of other Nautilus (folder) application
- drop it.

The result should be that the Nautilus application that I dropped into selected Nautilus application would create new Tab.

It did not happen.

It is very weird because Linux should have such features by default ...

Thanks for the report, may you please clarify the steps? Thanks in advance.

Consider situation:

You have opened two Nautlis windows ( folders ). Nautlis window A ( folder A ) and folder B.

Now you want to send folder B into folder A so the Nautlius window (folder A) would contain two tabs - folder A and folder B. That means I should be able to "drag and drop" folder B into folder A, but I cannot.

Hope you got the idea, Pedro ;)

so you're basically saying that when drag and drop occurs it should create a new 'tab' ?

[HX_unbanned (linards-liepins)]

yes, it would be logical result of such drag and drop action.

Personally speaking I am not sure about this behaviour because my logic tell me that if I drag and drop a folder from A to B this should just move that folder from one side to another and not create a tab with the folder it self and those files. any way, Can you fill a report in upstream tracker at bugzilla.gnome.org with all those details?
