>you can still dnd from a nautilus view on the desktop
Right, because it's not like the reason why I put files on my Desktop is because I use them often and want to be able to open quickly, or like having to open a Nautilus window, click on Desktop, and then double-click on the file to open it is slower than just being able to open the file directly on the desktop. That's definitely not a stupid usability regression that anyone who keeps files on their desktops is going to notice right away.
>or double click on the file so it's easy to workaround...
Except that I frequently want to open files (images, text files) with something other than the default application, and double-clicking doesn't do that, and another thing that's missing from the extension is the "Open with other application" right-click menu command (https:/
As one of my friends commented when I told him about all the absurd regressions introduced by ripping this code out of Nautilus and moving it to an incompletely implemented GNOME shell extension: #ThisIsWhyIUseKDE
Frankly, I'm just about ready to switch myself. The penchant of GNOME's developers for regressing functionality because they don't seem to understand how people actually use their software is a long-standing, incredibly frustrating problem.
