Idea #11707: Nautilus : Drag&Drop of files on an archive should add them to it

Written by cudjoe the 1 Aug 08 at 12:24. Category: Others. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
In Nautilus file browser pane, I wish I could drag and drop files to archives **without** having to open file-roller.

(other ideas in brainstorm only mention D'n'D between a file-roller window and nautilus)

And drag them out of the archive should extract them, that is broken also.

Agreed. And you should be able to paste into archives:

That was recently implemented[1] in nautilus, see bug 377157, but file-roller
has space for improvement in this integration, for example implement adding
files to tar.gz or tar.bz2 files, adding a folder... you could keep this bug
opened for that improvements...

For example, another nautilus integration feature is bug 546335, where the
improvements I commented before would be needed.
