Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
similar to bug #49348 (no lasso selection in list view) it is impossible
to DnD a file into a folder when in list view. Note: dragging the file
in between other files, not folders. You can drag them into a folder
just fine, in list view. But to have a file append a list of other files
in a folder, you'd have to 'move up' one level in the filesystem
hierarchy, and drag the file into the right folder.
It can off course be dragged to the tree, but to an ex-Win user this is
strange. Lasso selection and DnD do work in Explorer.
Moreover, in icon view, lasso selection and DnD are not a problem, so
this would confuse the user (I guess). "Hey, yesterday I could DnD just
fine, but in this folder it won't work".
Ubuntu Dapper, up-to-date system (filing from another system, so I can't
give the exact version numbers).
