Adding/linking slide from other presentation with drag 'n drop from Navigator does not work

Adding/linking slide from other presentation with drag 'n drop from Navigator does not work - open two presentations - open Navigator - select the inactive presentation at the bottom of the Nav. - select Drag mode Insert as Copy (top bar of Nav.) - drag slide from Nav. to presentation ... -> nothing happens In 2.2.0 this worked (have no 2.3.1 at hand) Also insert as (hyper)link do nothing. In Dev300_m10 this is also broken.
Reassigned.
Set keyword regression. Any news on target?
This depends on your navigator changes. Please take this issue as a kind of reminder.
cor@cgu: (Adding you as cc, don't know if you see my comment without.) I guess your comment was mentioned for af? (Anyway, I don't really understand it.) Since this is a regression, I don't think OOo-later is fine.
Yes, cornouws is right when he says that this is a regression compared to former versions. cgu has not handled this completely correct in the beginning. But I had a talk with af and he is stuffed with more serious issues already. As this is not a data-loss and not a crash I set the target to 3.x. Hope everyone is satisfied with this decision.
I can't speak for the others from 'everyone', nor can I discuss about others' agenda, but isn't the working of the Navigator a basic functionality? Everything later than 3.0 is a pitty, IMO.
The navigator as a tool for navigating is working as it should. It is just this one functionality of copying slides to another presentation that does not work. IMHO this is not a basic functionality anymore. AND: the desired effect of getting a slide from one file to another can be achived more easily and visual with using the slidesorter and drag'n'drop functionality. I can live with this "pity" if the saved time is used for fixing something more severe like a crash. Don't you agree?
@wg: well, my glasses are a bit navigator-colored. So I just didn't think of another way to copy slides ... So yes: in that light I fully agree that there are definitely issues that are more important. Sorry for the noise.
Thanks for agreeing!
Reviewed priority.
There is more than one reason why this does not work: - View was not correctly set at the transferable created by the navigator - new slidesorter did not support the data format supplied by the transferable Fixed in cws impress211
@wg: Please verify.
