Bug 415838

SUMMARY

IIRC, some time ago it was possible to drag-and-drop a file from eg. Dolphin into an "Open File" dialog's file name field. The full pathname of the file would then be inserted there.

This was very handy in case an application only provides an "Open File" dialog, but has not feature to directly accept a dragged and dropped file. (Which is true for many, many applications.)


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Dolphin and show some directory.
2. Open an "Open File" dialog in some other application.
3. Drag and Drop a file which is accepted by this other application into the file name field of the "Open File" dialog.

OBSERVED RESULT

The cursor feedback indicates, that the file can be dropped in the file name field. However, if I try to do so, the file name field stays empty.


EXPECTED RESULT

It does not only look like it, but I can actually drop the file into the file name field and the file's full path name is inserted there. I then only have to click "Open" in order to open this file in the application.

If I'm not totally mistaken, this used to work fine for ages, until some time ago when it apparently broke.
