  1. I don't think I've ever needed drag and drop functionality in all my years using a computer. I've only used it a few times and just to see that it worked and then promptly went back to the terminal and never did it again for years. The few GUI programs I used on a regular basis, I don't have a problem navigating to files from them or just calling them from the terminal and pushing them to the background. One of those very few GUI programs I use that I regularly need to give file input to is Viewnior and often it's easier to give it a file list from the terminal using file patterns. However, I'm fully willing to admit that I'm weird and definitely not the norm.

  2. This deserves more upvotes.

  3. This is the kind of development that happens when people are scared of certain programming languages and decide to rewrite it in a fad language as quick as possible just to get away from the original language. No thought for what it does, how or why, just straight up translate and go. Hopefully they'll at least maintain it and rework it as they go, but we'll see.

  4. Plus one from a fellow Konsole user, though I've never had the need to drag and drop anything.

  5. Why would you want them to do that?

  6. Interesting use case. For me all of my screenshots go to the ~/Pictures folder so I can just click the shortcut on the left and since I view by modified in descending order it'll be at the top. Since they get the current date and time by default it's also easy to pick the right one if I've left any in that folder recently, but I typically rename them to something relevant to what they're a screenshot of, if I keep them anyway.
