Bug Description

Binary package hint: thunar

On desktop on xubuntu 10.04 i select multiple files and moving its location in Desktop changes only one file locaton- the one i dragged.
Intead it should move all files ive selected when draging on desktop its location.

Also cant move even one file to Gmail to add files. In windows FF that works.
I can for example select in desktop multiple files and move them to Skype contact to send them.

Thank you for reporting this issue. You are correct, thunar does not have this capability. http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5025 states that the website has been corrected to reflect that this can not be done.
