Drag and drop to gmail

[John Gill]

Binary package hint: f-spot

Gmail in chromium and firefox 3.6 now supports drag and drop of attachments.

It works fine from nautilus -- drag an image over a compose page and you get a green area to drop it on.

Dragging from f-spot fails -- gmail doesn't seem to realise there is anything suitable to drop, so does not create the green drop zone.

This is with f-spot on Ubuntu Lucid Lynx:

0.6.1.5-2ubuntu6

That's probably not supported, anyways the bug is an upstream one and it would be quite helpful if somebody interested on the issue could send the bug the to the people writing the software. You can learn more about how to do this for various upstreams at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME . Thanks in advance!

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

dragging and dropping doesn't work when dragging a file to the browser and it isn't visible it's impossible to go to the window because unity doesn't enable it for drop
