Drag and Drop files into Zotero not working in Ubuntu 10.10

enrique_martino · January 15, 2011

I recently converted from XP to Ubuntu 10.10 and the only difference so far is that i cant drag and drop files (say .jpg pictures of archival material or library books) into Items.

Right click-> Add Attachement-> Attach Copy of Stored file and then finding it works but is inefficient.

Is this a Linux compatibility problem? And is there a fix?

thanks

yes it's a linux problem and no there is no current fix.
This is broken in both directions btw. - you also can't drag from zotero to the filesystem/desktop
