yes, it's a rant. I don't care.

Back in the days drag and drop was working perfectly fine, but now it's a pain to use. I just installed mkvtoolnix dropped two files into it and it worked. Wanted to add another one and it didn't. Guess it's because it's in a network share and for some reason that matters. Adding the file via the menu works though wtf? Reinstalled mkvtoolnix. Now natively instead of flatpack and now dropping from the network share works, too. Guess it's some sandbox permission thing and who doesn't love fiddling with permissions on a weekend.

Btw dropping a file into the file open dialog window also does not work when the program is installed as flatpack. Try explaining that to your mom and then think about why most people think linux is to complicated.

Also remember how you could drop a file instead of pasting its path? I just tried that to add the path of a video into a text file and it inserted the video into the text. Of course it froze the text editor. Great.

Also way too many times firefox opens a file then I drop it in instead of uploading it to the cloud storage I have opened and unzipping files by dragging them out of the archive manager is not possible for the last couple of years.

Honestly I don't care about workarounds or if it's a wayland, grnome or flatpack problem. These are basic functionality that I expect to just work
