Dragging with Gradient tool over object without a gradient fill does nothing
I have a path I want to be filled with a gradient.
I select it, pick Gradient tool, drag it over the path... and nothing happens.
WHY.
Because AI demands that you apply gradient fill first.
Well, if I'm dragging over the path with a dedicated tool — what else would I want AI to do? Just apply it in the moment I started dragging.

However, this should be an option, because the current Ai solution allows to select many objects and affect ONLY objects with gradients with the tool! Another solution would be to change 'flat' into 'gradient' ONLY when no other gradients are in the selections (taking fill / stroke selector into the consideration).
