start key, drag-drop , and overview mode

[misterpah arif <misterpah gmail com>]

Salam and hello to everyone. this is my first time sending anything on the mailing list, so if i get it wrong, please forgive me.

i love music, and something i love more is video music. So, i have a lot of video music. The thing is, one evening i want to queue my video music in totem. The usual way i add music to totem is open totem->right click->always on top . But after i use Gnome 3 for several weeks now, I tried to press start key to open the overview mode, while dragging the music video(s). The odd thing is, I expect gnome to show me the overview mode so i can drag my file and drop it in my totem. I manage to complete this by draging the files to the activity hot corner , into overlay and hilight on totem and wait for totem to get focus.

so, i do think that this interaction should be included inside gnome 3. because i keep doing this each and every time i want to drop something (gedit,totem,nautilus, almost anything u can think of). what we can benefit from this is , we no longer need to sort the window nicely to drag-drop-open multiple files (a powerful features i say). 

I can't understand the shell code (yet) but i do think this can be done.

proposed interaction

-----------------------------

1. hilight multiple file. drag them (to drop in totem) 

2. press start button. overview mode open

3. drag file to totem in overview mode ( maybe drop here , if possible )

4. overview mode close. totem got focus. drop multiple file. 

ps : you guys do really done your homework. Now i miss my gnome 3 when i on the windows. I <3 GNOME3 !
