Description Alex Radu 2003-06-15 04:11:00 UTC
Version:           3.1.2 (using KDE KDE 3.1.2)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:          Linux

Drag and drop files/folders/urls support between tabs.

For example if I have my home directory opened in my active tab and I have another tab open with my Documents folder and I want to move one folder to the documents tab, I should be able to simply drag and drop it on the Documents tab which would work exactly as if I was dragging and dropping things from one window to the other.

Again this behaviour should have the same intelligence as dragging and dropping files from one window to another does.

For example if the user has dragged a Koffice file from a window to a tab with yahoo.com loaded in it, he obviously does not wish to copy or move it to yahoo.com which is an impossible action. Therefore, the user must be trying to view the content he dragged to that tab into that tab. Or if he is dragging a link from a website to a new tab that is blank or holding another website, than the link should be opened in that tab.

This is not a dupe because the other bug reports just mention the topic briefly and are not as general and they do not explain exactly how it should work.

This may be a little confusing. But, for the user it is very natural.

Dropping on tabs conflicts with now implemented "Bug 41853: Drag'n'Drop on Tabs 
for opening pages in a specific tab". Rather a solution like in 49771 with 
delay after tab to activate it and being able to continue dragging will be 
implemented.
