11 months ago Budgie Desktop View does not support arbitrary locations for desktop icons and the feature is not planned. Nautilus hasn't had a desktop icons implementation for many years now and isn't even the default file manager on most of the operating systems that ship Budgie. Most end up going with nemo.
The toggle won't do anything if budgie-desktop-view is not installed.
Description
Hi, I'm new to the whole Linux thing, and i've just installed an ArchLinux distro followed a couple of step by step guides and it seems to be fine when I'm not using budgie. Desktop Icons are not being shown as default on an Archlinux and when the toggle changes in budgie-desktop-settings nothing happens. after installing budgie-extras which is not recommended in ArchWiki the icons will be shown on the desktop but frozen in place and there is no drag functionality on the workspace which again works in nautilus file manager installed. Here's a picture of the current desktop icons that are clickable and functional but not draggable. I'm a newbie so apologies if I'm Mistaken.
Budgie version
10.8
Operating System
ArchLinux rolling on X11 windowing system
Steps to reproduce the issue
follow the manual installation of budgie on Arch Linux guide on buddiesofbudgie.org
Actual result
drag functionality doesnt work. when mouse inits mousedown on desktop the box that should show doesnt come up and workspace doesnt register anything also the icons on the desktop arent being highlighted or draggable by mouse down event.
Expected result
drag box should appear on a mousedown event on an empty space in desktop environment. icons should be able to move around on desktop environment upon registering a mousedown event. icons should register highlight on mousedown event like when tab button is used to gain focus.
