Bug Description

Can't drag and drop a/multiple file(s) from Catfish into Thunar.
When I drag a file from Catfish into Thunar nothing happens. The cursor stays a fist when hovering over a folder in Thunar. When I drag a file to VLC, for example, the cursor becomes a fist with a plus symbol.

Using Xubuntu 16.04

Confirmed.

* Dropping into Thunar does nothing unless the item is dropped into the path bar.
* Dropping into Parole seems to crash the player.
* Dropping into VLC works.

Confirmed. Catfish 1.4.6 on Arch.

- Dropping search results into Gmail dialog box in Firefox (to attach a file) has no effects.
- Dropping search results into Desktop or a Thunar window has no effects.
