308067 - Dragging multiple items from History or Bookmarks to Finder only creates one webloc

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 182785

(Camino Graveyard :: Drag & Drop, defect)

Description

[Smokey Ardisson (offline for a while; not following bugs - do not email)]

Follow-on to bug 278929 and bug 230340.

When you drag two or more entries from History to the Finder, Camino only
creates a webloc for the topmost item (even if it wasn't the first item
selected), not for all of the dragged items.

Actually, the Finder is creating the webloc; the reason for this bug, AFAIK, is
that only one URL can be stored on a pasteboard at once.

Hrm, I see this is the case with Bookmarks, too, but I'm fairly certain I used
to be able to drag multiple bookmarks to the Finder and get multiple weblocs....

FWIW, this works from Safari; it even shows a badge indicating the number of bookmarks/history items I'm dragging.  It'll even drag an entire bookmarks folder and create a folder with that name filled with all the weblocs (when you drag the "folder" for an entire day of history, it just creates the weblocs loose, though).

So presumably this is not unsurmountable.

Can this be duped to bug 182785, which appears to be exactly the same thing? (Or vice-versa.)

Wow, I feel dumb (or this was broken then, fixed at some point, and broke again)....
