I completely agree with matteo. This is really terrible design (this new mime-type restriction of unity launchers).
It may seem "cool" for about 2 seconds, until you realize what a huge hindrance it actually is. I like to drag files to the terminal window so that the path to a file (or directory) gets written to the command line. I like to drag files to thunderbird to add as attachments. And there are many more examples. Now, I cannot do these things anymore. Anyone know a way to turn this off? Very, very, very unhelpful behavior for me. I am not stupid: I know what programs can handle what file type....Jeez. This makes me really want to stop using Unity. A really garbage idea. I will be moving to gnome shell if this is not changed in 12.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/873167 Title: Cannot drag emails between Thunderbird windows [regression] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/873167/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
