Hello, could you post your error messages to this bug report please? I have just tried to reproduce this scenario. I use GNOME 3 and the Nautilus file manager. tip.tar.gz opens in xarchiver and when I drag and drop the index.html file to my home directory it works as expected. So the questions is: What kind of file manager do you use? Did you drag and drop the files to your desktop or to your file manager (and there to the desktop directory)? What kind of application controls your desktop? As far as I know Thunar should be the default file manager for Xfce. What happens if you drag and drop the file to another file manager such as Nautilus or pcmanfm? Regards, Markus
