Comment 4 for bug 664030

Ubuntu 10.10 (upgraded from 9.10 as far as I know)
Nautilus 2.32.0
VLC 1.1.4

It looks like a Nautilus issue :
opening vlc by clicking its shortcut then dragging files [error] !=
drag files directly to the VLC shortcut [OK]

Steps to reproduce bug

I made a new vlc onto the desktop by dragging vlc icon from Apps/Audio to the desktop.
Then by right clicking / Properties I checked what is the command line => 'VLC %U'.

I clicked the shortcut to open vlc and drag a file to the vlc windows that just opened => if file is local it's ok. If it's a smb share then nothing happens
Now IF I DRAG THE FILE DIRECTLY ONTO THE SHORTCUT IT WORKS (local or shared)
In that case the playlist is "/home/v1nce/.gvfs/nas0000 sur 192.168.0.10/1.mp3" [I go to nas0000 by clicking a Fav in nautilus]

It also works with a directory or a group of files

PS:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/+bug/211632 says changing command line to VLC %F could be better. In fact it's worst :

I changed the properties of shortcut for 'VLC %F' (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/+bug/211632)

I clicked the shortcut to open vlc and drag a file to the vlc windows that just opened => if file is local it's ok. If it's a smb share then nothing happens
Now if I drag the file ONTO THE SHORTCUT then local file works and shared failed with warning "Target of drag and drop only handle local files"
