Description Martin Tlustos 2016-05-09 08:58:54 UTC 
I would like to be ablet do drag a file from dolphin to kmail to create an attachment via the "present windows" effect. Right now I can drag the file into the activated corner, and the windows will be presented, but I can not drop it onto another window. It copies the file to the original folder insted, presenting me with a dialog to change the file name.

Reproducible: Always

the patch was supposed to keep window selection possible. you'd have to exit the effect by keyboard then (and have the desired window focused)

you can forget about direct dnd on x11 because there's no input redirection, ie. we cannot reasonably map the drop event

Remove completely present windows

since it has been replaced by windowview, and Desktop Grid
is ported as well, remove present windows which is effectively dead code
now

Removing the old code doesn't make wishlist requests invalid for the new version (which has the same name, so they are the same thing from the user's perspective); re-opening.
