Hi guys, and girls ;)
I would like to ask a question about Nautilus. I've been searching here, on internet and our czech forum, but haven't find an answer yet.
I would like to set/copy one feature from Windows. I can desribe it on this situation.
For example open any folder with some movies and subtitles.
Open a movie.
After that, screen looks like this
http://darebak.fiit.stuba.sk/~noskovic06/drag&drop.png
Next, i would like to drag subtitles to the player, but
in Windows, if I drag the file with subtitles, the focus stays on the player, so the player is in foreground, so I can move them to the player. [that's what I'm trying to]
in Nautilus, if I drag the sbt file, the player looses the focus and goes to background and the folder to the foreground, so I can't move the sbt to the player. Now I have to place both, tha player and the folder next to each other, so they don't overlap each other.
I've found just 2 links, if I'm searching for "drag drop focus folder" all results are about moving, coping...

I don't like that solution, I don't want the player to be always on top.
http://askubuntu.com/questions/704/how-do-i-make-nautilus-windows-stick-for-drag-drop
I use Docky instead of bottom panel, and it doesn't work with that, so alt+tab doesn't.
So my question is, is it possible to set nautilus to behave like windows while "drag&drop"? I hope, I described my problem well.
Thank you all for any help.
