Details

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Configure GNOME to access Google drive
  2. Write a new mail
  3. Open nautilus to access the directory containing the file
  4. Drag and Drop the file in the window

Actual results:

The real name of the file is not used/displayed, only some random string (technical name?) is.

Expected results:

The real name of the file is used and displayed on the dialog

Note that accessing the file via the add attachment button is difficult/not possible because of bug #1330756, so this is maybe the same bug or at least related

My understanding is that the code should call g_file_info_get_display_name().

I don't see anywhere in the code that function being called, only g_file_info_get_name(), so the fix might be easy

Do you have the same issue with dnd of a file in Firefox?

See Also: → https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1330756

If I dnd a file from Google drive (a pdf for example) the name of the file is not properly set in the tab

So yes firefox has the same problem
