Current version: 0.6.0
This is an extension for Gnome Shell that adds icons to the desktop. It is a fork of the original, Desktop Icons, but it adds:
- Drag'n'Drop, both inside the desktop, between desktop and applications, and nautilus windows
- Allows to use "Open with..." option with several files
- When hovering or clicking on an icon with a name too large to fit, it shows the full name
- Doesn't hang the compositor when there is too much activity in the desktop folder
