Nautilus bookmarks - drag and drop - gnome 3

Hi
in gnome 2 nautilus I could add folder from right pane to the left as a shortcut (or what was the name for that). In gnome 3 all my shortcuts are there, now called bookmarks. Only thing is that now I can't drag and drop files from right pane to these folder shorcuts in left pane.
Is that a feature of gnome 3 nautilus or something is wrong with my nautilus?

I'm able to drag folders over, but not files. I don't think I ever could with files, but I'm not sure I ever tried. CTRL+D will also add the current folder to the "bookmark," menu.

I can no longer drag and drop pages into my bookmarks toolbar in the new firefox

I uninstalled firefox to try google crome. Now i have uninstalled crome, and gone back to firefox. After restarted my computer i put the bookmark toolbar up but i can no longer drag sites into the bar. When i do it opens them in a whole new window.
When i used this before i would have saved tabs in my bookmarks for easy use,
Is this a bug or am i doing somthing wrong
Thanks
Mandy

for me the problem was caused by the Torbutton add-on.
I have read that there are about 5 or 6 other add-ons that also inhibit Drag and Drop functionality, not just the Torbutton add-on. The list is somewhere in the main Firefox support section (but it's tough to find the answer there twice).

I can no longer drag and drop bookmarks

I have used Firefox for several years and can no longer utilize my bookmarks toolbar. Yes, I know that you must drag and drop from the globe and/or lock icon (I have done this for years) but now all of a sudden it isn't working. I can not drag anything to my "Multirow Bookmarks Toolbar Plus" 1.2" which was updated on 2/27/15. When I attempt to drag a website to add to the toolbar I get a circle with the line through it (kind of like a no smoking sign etc). Any help is greatly appreciated

Any luck if you keep the Ctrl key pressed when dragging the link to initiate a copy?

Can't drag and drop bookmarks in FF12

I just upgraded to FF 12.0, and I find that I'm unable to drag and drop bookmarks in the "Show All Bookmarks" window. I used to be able to organize my bookmarks that way, order them, put in folders, etc. I can delete bookmarks, and I can even "copy" and "paste" them to move them around, but I can't drag and drop them anymore.
When I go back to FF11, which I had archived, it works fine.
iMac 10.6.8

it's the torbutton extension on its own that causes the issue with firefox versions 12 upwards - i also tried it with a fresh test profile. the torbutton extension is no longer maintained by its developers - they recommend a switch to the tor browser bundle, see [https://www.torproject.org/torbutton/].

Gnome-shell and xfburn - drag-and-drop no longer supported

Can someone using gnome-shell else try this as a sanity check: try to drag-and-drop an mp3 file into xfburn in "Audio CD" mode. For me, mp3 files are ignored but wav files drag-and-drop in just fine. I can add mp3 files to the compilation but only if I do so through the xfburn GUI.

I get the same behavior here.

GNOME 3 : "drag-and-drop" + "Alt-Tab" not working

Hello,
In GNOME 3.2.1 with Mutter 3.2.1 (current ones in Arch), it is supossedly fixed the following "bug":
Mutter 3.2.1 changelog:
* Allow keyboard window switching (alt-Tab) during drag-and-drop [Matthias, #660457]
But I can't make it working.
As test, I open a folder (maximized) and vlc (background). I drag a movie file with left click mouse and pressing Alt-Tab makes nothing.
In fact, when I press Alt the file icon changes to a question mark "?"...
Has anyone been able to make it work?
Thanks in advance,
Franz

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Safari Bookmarks Lost via Drag and Drop to Finder

All of my most important bookmarks vanished without a trace after I dragged and dropped their folder from the "Show All Bookmarks" screen in Safari 4.0.3 to a Shared Network Drive in the Finder sidebar. The Shared Network Drive was not connected at the time (I hadn't realized), but I received no error message that the bookmarks could not be copied to the destination--the folder and its contents were simply gone. I've scoured all drives for the bookmark files with no luck, and I confirmed that dragging other files (not bookmarks) to the disconnected Shared Network Drive gives an error message and no change to file locations.
Admittedly, this particular situation is somewhat rare, but it seems like a kind of shoddy black hole in the software: no alerts, no trash bin, no bookmark files to be found.
Obviously this is a perfect example of why one should backup bookmarks via Time Machine, MobileMe, etc.--but I really just want to understand the problem, and to see it resolved if necessary. Any ideas? Similar experiences?
Thanks for reading!

Thanks very much for your reply, Carolyn.
I tried a Spotlight search as you suggested, but found no file called "Safari Bookmarks.html," and nothing with a similar name. Would that be some kind of master log of my Safari bookmarks?
I'm looking everywhere for an alternate record of those web addresses (router, cache, cookies, Google), but unfortunately I empty my Safari history regularly and nothing else has panned out so far.

Cant drag and drop from file-roller to nautilus when using List View

Hi, im using file-roller and i can only use drag and drop feature from file-roller when i use Icon View. If i select List View i cant drag and drop.
Is that an expected behavior or its a bug? Is there a patch or work around? (File Roller 2.20.1 and Gnome 2.20.2)
I think its a problem with file-roller cause in my other box, running ubuntu 7.10 i have the same problem, but i can drag and drop from ark even when using List View.
Thx!

Well, sorry for the double post, but after a little research i found this is a bug, actually a not yet implemented feature. There is a patch and probably its going to be merged in next version.
Ill try to apply the patch myself, if it works could the maintainer Jan de Groot put it on the repository?

Drag and Drop bookmarks doesn't work.

The drag and drop functionality when organising bookmarks stops working after organising a couple of bookmarks (When it works at all)! Is this a Safari bug? Does anybody know how to fix this?

I found the answer to my problems. The Torbutton add-on inhibits Drag and Drop functions (especially of Bookmarks). When I disable Torbutton, Drag and Drop works again. When I enable it, Drag and Drop stops. So, obviously, I disable it whenever I want to manually sort items with Drag and Drop.
I have read that there are about 5 or 6 other add-ons that also inhibit Drag and Drop functionality, not just the Torbutton add-on. The list is somewhere in the main Firefox support section (but it's tough to find the answer there twice).

I can no longer drag and drop my bookmarks or url icons

All of a sudden I can no longer drag and drop my bookmarks around the sidebar or drag url icons into the toolbar or sidebar. The problem seems to have coincided with the download of 3.6.14. The only other thing I did around that time was download Adobe Reader X (10.0.1).

YOu're not looking in the right palce. That's inside the iPhoto Application.
You need to look inside the iPhoto Library
As I sid above:
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there

Drag and drop tab to bookmark, now add to bottom (previously on the top)

For some reason, I forgot which version, drag and drop tab to bookmark folder, add the new bookmark on the bottom. Previously, it was added to the top of the list. How can I restore this function? I would like new bookmark on the top, not bottom.
Thanks

New bookmarks are always added at the bottom in bare Firefox without installed extensions.
An extension can modify this behavior and allow to add the new bookmark at the top.
Did you check the settings in "Add Bookmark Here" extension?
Also make sure that you have the latest version of all extensions.

Drag and drop bookmarks ...

Hi,
I use the «bookmark bar» to categorize my bookmarks by themes and organize these themes with multiple nested folders. Is it possible to drag and drop new bookmarks to these nested folders not only to the first root level ?
Thanks for listening.

Use Cut & Paste if you have a problem with dragging.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.
