I also cannot drag and drop from Nautilus 3.14.2 or Caja 1.8.2 (MATE version of nautilus), but I can from Thunar 1.6.4. I am using Scribus 1.4.4 on Fedora 21 (Mate spin).

 ale, is this still relevant (from 0012564:0033075)
or was this part of the fix for the previous closed bug?

----------------------------

i had a looked at

void ScribusView::contentsDropEvent(QDropEvent *e)

and found out that mimedata->hasText() returns true also for images.

i tried to fix the thing by moving the check for text to the end, but some of the "else if" do funky things that i don't want to understand and the new code leads to a crash.

attached a simple hack that seams to solve the problem...

even if i would wish that the whole condition sequence would be documented and correctly fixed...
(i mean: text=text(); url=QUrl(text) ... this is not something i would expect in source code without a comment...)

Interesting little bit of info: it works if dragged from Thunar or eog (Eye of GNOME), but NOT Nautilus or gthumb.

 On Ubuntu 14.04 with Scribus 1.5.1svn r20359,

It works sometimes, and sometimes it doesn't.

The d'n'd is detected well, mouse pointer turns into a 'hand with + sign', but release of the mouse button is not detected / doesnt insert any image in the opened scribus document.

Is this still an issue on Gnome 3.18 ?

Yes, this happens on GNOME 3.18, but in theory isn't specific to GNOME and you don't have to be running that desktop environment to test it, just grab the relevant apps. I tested Scribus 1.4.5 and 1.5.1 with Nautilus, gThumb or Shotwell. All those combinations fail.

The only ones that work as drag & drop sources are Thunar and eog (Eye of GNOME).

for information: geeqie is gtk image previewer and can dnd (at least outside of gnome...)

i'm not sure it's a gnome specific thing: with some software it works, with other not.

I can drag'n'drop images out of gwenview !!!!!!

That makes me very happy because it improves usability a lot !

It'd be good to fix the issue for other image browser or managers...

I confirm it works from Thunar but not from Nautilus...

kunda : There are lots of image browsers and I never tested gwenview beforehand.

Could we make upstream bug reports to Nautilus, gThumb and Shotwell about this?

I have yet to see a single application out there that does not accept drag input from Nautilus, gThumb and Shotwell. Scribus is the only one. I'm pretty confident that the bug is thus in Scribus.

(for the sake of completeness, I even tested other Qt apps like Krita and Kdenlive; they have no problem accepting drag input from Nautilus.)

Franz fixed 0014060 so I'm going to punt this ticket his way.

Interesting... drag and drop from gThumb and Nautilus has started working for me on luya's latest Scribus 1.5.2 Fedora build (2016-05-14 svn 21313), what the heck... maybe there's a race condition and the behavior has changed because of some butterfly effect?

Could someone retest the other apps as well to see if the issues have been fixed?
