Public bug reported: Dropping a file from a network share into most applications (Claws Mail, Chromium, Thunderbird, ...) fails silently. This is because the URIs sent by Nautilus are GFVS URIs with various schemes (smb://, davs://, ...) and most applications doing POSIX I/O can't do anything with them.
This is easy to check by dropping a file from a network share into the Terminal. ** Affects: nautilus Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: thunar Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: nautilus Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1715883 Title: Can not drag and drop from network shares to most apps Status in Nautilus: New Status in thunar: Unknown Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Dropping a file from a network share into most applications (Claws Mail, Chromium, Thunderbird, ...) fails silently.
