Bug Description

When I drag a file (text, pdf, etc) to the launcher, all icons disappear other than the one I acn open that file with. And the personal folder. In my opinion, the personal folder should not act as a "appropriate app".

Maybe this is a wishlist or even intended?

This is intended. If you drag into it, Nautilus launches up to display that file in it's own window.

I'd like to double check if this is intended or not, so I'm marking this needs-design

that is totally by design so it take you to the directory where the file resides.
