[gutsy] File-roller Drag and drop works when adding, but not when extracting

[nyékhelyi gábor]

Binary package hint: nautilus

what I've posted to gnome-bugs:

Please describe the problem:
When I create an empty archive, I can add files by drag n drop. When I open
this archive, I cant extract files from it by drag and drop, only with
selecting the files, and using the extract button.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Make an empty archive with file roller.
2. Add some files.
3. Then open the archive you've made.
4. Try to extract the files by drag and drop

Actual results:
The mouse cursor turns to drag and drop icon, but when i release the button
over the desktop or over a nautilus window, the drag and drop operation isn't
done.

Expected results:
Working dnd.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Other information:
I've tried it with Ubuntu Gutsy Tribe 4 last updated at 16. aug.
gnome-desktop 2.19.90
file-roller 2.19.90
nautilus 2.19.90

The same here...as in Feisty. It's really nasty that this wasn't fixed in Feisty already. Is it really so hard to get this working? I know it is because Nautilus hasn't a feature needed by File-rollers Dnd, but hey: go back to File-Rollers old Dnd-Method until the Feature is integrated in Nautilus. Would make more sense as leaving the Users without working Dnd.

Oh, yes. It's irritating! The bug occurs both in Feisty and Gutsy.
