You are absolutely ALMOST completely right.  I Just confirmed I can drag and
drop from multiple albums into a queue.  Also many of the Export tools allow
drag and drop.

What's missing then to "work with any operation" as the bug title suggest, is
for drag and drop to work with the Print Assistant.  The use case is this:

I want to print an A4 page with images of a person - but those images are
distributed across several albums. Selecting a few images and starting the
print assistant won't work because it's dialog box is modal - it won't let me
go back to the main window and select more.

I originally submitted Bug 342920 - Allow to use D&D with Print Assistant
dialog (non-modal) which describes this.  Then later I submitted THIS bug
because I thought it would be a good idea to create a standard mechanism for
selecting images from multiple albums.  So it could be used for any operations,
not just printing.

Given the current state of these bugs, I guess THIS bug could be closed and
then hopefully some effort is put into the print assistant.
