Hello !

He means probably dragging from Browser, not Viewer, right foxyshadis?

to drop downs for the left and the right mouse button are allready there, just add a option "drag to other app" please.

everyone who dont like the option could choose another one, everyone who like it choose this option. -> everybody is happy

Nono! Thats not the point! The comboboxes for the mousebutton-functions are cool as they are! Its about dragging an image out of XnView!!!

Only in this case the cursor should change and you'd be able to drag it to another app.

ok you already bombed foxyshadis :]
even the topic says "Drag & drop from image view?" ;]

Let's wait for foxyshadis's reply...

I didn't realize it was about view, maybe because I see no point in it. Sorry. But that's fine, not everyone's going to use every feature.

No probem, there is no clear term for it, sometime it's "image view", sometime "viewer" and sometime "edit mode" - it is confusing.

I double this feature request!

Nowadays, most websites support dragging pictures in. I would like to drag them directly from XN's main view window. That is expectable : i view, i choose, then i drag.

Just add this option to mouse-buttons setup. For example, i dont use "move picture" binding, so i will bind "drag file" option.

This would be a useful addition to XnView.

Please add a new reaction to LMB/RMB: "drag image to other application".

Suppose that in the image viewer, you have found a specific image after much navigation through a large folder of images. You want to use that image in <some other application>, e.g. Photoshop.

Expected:
- press the LMB
- drag
> the cursor changes to a 'dragging' icon
- continue drag out of the XnView window
- continue drag over another application e.g. photoshop
- release LMB

result: the image is opened in photoshop.

As in: XnView acts as a drag source allowing you to drag the currently-visible image to another application.

Because: without this feature, you must change tasks back to the source folder, poke around until you re-find the image you currently have visible in XnView, and THEN drag from windows to the other application. The image is right there, let us use it.

I've seen the other posts and feel that
- the zoom setting, or whether scrollbars are visible, is irrelevant
- if the current image has been edited, and you have the choice of dragging the image as on disk or the edited image as in memory, the disk version would be used (because: you can save the in-memory edited version if desired).
- if you don't see the need for this function then don't configure your mouse to use it
