Comment 1 for bug 530163

Hi Kiwinote. First, I want to say that I was not able to reproduce the first issue that you describe above, that is, dragging of a category icon to the desktop. I tested using Software Center 1.1.17 and Ubuntu Beta 1 plus updates to today, and with this configuration, I am unable to drag the category icons to the desktop.

However, I can confirm the second issue you reported, that is, that dragging the screenshot thumbnail in details view to the desktop creates a link to a meaningless file just as you describe.

I've checked in a fix for this second problem by disabling dragging of the screenshot thumbnail image in the details view.

In addition, I disabled dragging the "Featured Applications" button in the categories view, as this would place a "Link to Featured Applications" icon on the desktop. I also disabled dragging images in the categories view in general so that the new Software Center logo at the upper right of the view is no longer draggable.

I'll update the description with these details.

Oh, and if you get a chance, please verify that indeed the category icon drag issue no longer occurs with Software Center 1.1.17.

Many thanks!
