It is amazing how this hasn't been fixed yet. Right now, I can't even drag a photo from nautilus to a LibreOffice document. What I have to do to get the same result:
- Resize both Nautilus AND LO windows so they are both visible side to side
- Drag and drop the photo from Nautilus to LO
This is incredibly unintuitive and time consuming, especially for people working on reduced screen space, with all windows maximised, on a tablet or a netbook for example.
One should be able to:
- Drag a file to the launcher;
- Hover it on the app's icon for one second so the corresponding window comes to the foreground;
- Place the file wherever wanted on the document.
I hope this will be addressed soon and integrated in 12.04, as it is a LTS and should be as usable as possible.
