drag and drop doesn't work to add attachments in Evolution

confirmed, however dropping it to the message body works ok.

cannot find anything upstream related to it (previous ones were fixed a long time ago), filed a new one there, you can track it here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=554450 ; thanks for reporting.

thanks for answering :)

Actually, it's more serious. I can confirm that dropping to attachments area doesn't work at all. And dropping to message body works only for SOME files. I can drop text and SVG files, but cannot drop JPG, DOC, ODS. It seems that binary files can't be attrached using drag'n'drop.

Please increase importance. It's a regression.

I can confirm that.

I can confirm that too. As said before its a new bug in 8.10 because it worked fine before the upgrade.
For me drag and drop works if I drag it to the body, also for doc, ods and so on, so I guess it works for all file types, but I can't confirm that for sure.

this was fixed upstream, the commit is : http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/evolution?view=revision&sortby=date&revision=36742 , it'd go into an sru process if there's another evolution update also, thanks.
