Can´ t drag from browser to the desktop.

[Joaquin]

On Natty, I can drag (for example) images from the browser to the desktop to save them.
On Oneiric, this isn´ t working, I can drag, drop on the Unity launcher, but not on the desktop.

For reproduce it:
-Open Google Chrome
-Search an image
-Try to drag and drop the image to the desktop, it doesn´ t work.

This may be a Chrome specific problem. I tried it with FireFox and it worked.

[Joaquin (jknvv13)]

... I'll try tomorrow with Firefox Opera, Epiphany and others...

out of the box.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

on Oneiric doing a dnd from a google page for example create a link to the image url

[Jason Fletcher (botanist)]

I can confirm this for firefox 7.0.1 on Oneiric 64bit.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

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

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Could you give an example of webpage and image you try to dnd?

[Joaquin (jknvv13)]

Just search for an image on google images, open it as full image (not
embbeded) and try to dnd.

dnd an image from chromium to nautilus will create a link to the image, however if you hold CTRL while dnd'ing it will save the actual image and not just the link. [discovered through some trial and error]. Perhaps having this behavior reversed would be better? And would be more in line with the behavior on other OSes?

[Joaquin (jknvv13)]

Yep, people wants to get the image, not a link from that image.

[Samuel Dellicour (smd)]

I would also have the default behavior being "downloading the image" (like it used to be), instead of having to press Control.
But I was wondering if this was a Firefox feature/bug or a Nautilus one...

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

That's still an issue is disco (the new gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons doesn't seem to deal with those dnd at all), it works to dnd to a normal nautilus folder though
