162449 - can't drag address bar URL icon to dock

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Camino Graveyard :: Drag & Drop, defect)

Description

[Gary Yuen]

Unable to drag URL icon within address bar to the OS X dock to store a URL
within the dock. Can only be dragged to the file system.

I'm not sure this would be such a good idea. The Dock seems to be to be a place
to keep links to files and applications, as well as minimized windows of running
applications. Storing a URL in the Dock permanently would break that analogy.
Would Chimera be expected to create a URL Bookmark file and then create a Dock
item for it? Where should the URL Bookmark file be stored?

Do any other OS X browsers implement this?

[Gary Yuen]

this does work in other major OS X browser. IE, OmniWeb, and iCab support this.
The shortcut is stored in the dock and saved in:

~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist

->pinkerton, we probably want this for OSX integration

Would this bug not depend on 149418? Or would this just be a Cocoa 'magic' trick?

Fix checked in. Draggable URLs in the chrome now go into the dock (although
those in content do not; that's a different bug).

Dragging urls from the content area to the dock is covered by bug 172044.
