no visual feedback when moving a file to a sidebar folder in nautilus

[purejava]

Arch linux, nautilus 3.20.1-1, gnome-breeze theme from master from today.

When you grab a file on the right and move it to a folder on the left (Music of whatever) in order to move the file into that folder, the folder does not get selected to allow to drop the file there.

Thanks,

I'm assuming you're referring to the sidebar folders (Recent, Home, Documents, Downloads, etc.). I just tested this on Arch with the same version number and I can't reproduce the issue. The only problem I see is that no visual feedback is provided once a file is ready to be dropped into a sidebar folder, but it still happens when the mouse button is released.

Is there anything unique about your Nautilus configuration which may explain the difference? I'm a little surprised that a bug like this could be related to theming, but of course I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

Yes, I mean the sidebar folders.
And you are absolutely right: moving files works. I never released the mouse button to actually drop the file as the visual feedback is missing as you say. That is the actual problem.

So I changed the title of this issue. Sorry for being not precise enough.

Is the visual feed back something that could be added?

No worries, and thanks for clarifying the issue. It should be possible to add the faint highlight that is present in the Qt theme (a la Dolphin) without interfering with anything else.

Cool, looking forward to this feature ;)
