GNOME 44 Released With Many Desktop Enhancements

Does drag & drop work yet on Wayland?

It's always worked for me.

I've never noticed any problems with it. Where did you see an issue?

I don't know about GNOME, but on KDE Plasma Wayland, I cannot drag and drop items to browsers. Not Falkon, not Firefox, not Chromium.

Draging and droping never worked for my workflow with wayland GNOME, on X11 GNOME it works well.
There is no drag and drop from GNOME default file archiver to GNOME file manager with wayland GNOME.

I frequently drag and drop stuff into browsers. In fact I'm working on something that I test by dragging images into Firefox so I can say that, on many occasions, I've dragged over 500 images into Firefox, one at a time, in a day.

That first one doesn't do GNOME any justice.

The mere existence of Gnome 3+ doesn't do any justice.

I'm so happy. I think it was the fractional scaling changes in Wayland and Mutter, but now my VMs in virt-viewer are 1:1 scaling on my fractionally-scaled screens, my VMs aren't blurry and permanently thinking they have weird dimensions. I can use the guests' scaling instead of kludgy and ugly host-side scaling.

I hope with the hackathon going on, we'll be able to toggle HDR output for Gnome 45.

Gnome gaining support for Wayland's fractional scaling wouldn't effect this because virt-viewer would have to support fractional scaling. Since it uses GTK3 and even GTK4 doesn't support fractional scaling, it should work exactly as it did before. Even then, I don't think there's any way for the vm-monitor to communicate to the guest OS what scaling you're using, it can only report lower resolutions which would make the guest look blurry.
