Drag & drop you know that ?!

Post by leon_3d »

It's not asking too much of a drag & drop towards other applications, that's how long that your software exist ?!

I can just drag and drop towards other apps from Xnview-Explorer but not from the picture view !
Who uses the function Make selection of left button and move picture of the rightbutton ? Hardly anyone, then it is essential to be able to drag and drop the displayed image towards other applications without using the xnview-explorer. This function should have been implemented long ago. :x

I don't understand your frustration.

Do you mean drag&drop image from this view (below) into another app, like say for example into Adobe Photoshop?

(the picture I posted here is something I made and doesn't exist)
if so, I know that Firefox can does this. Seems possible except Xnview would have to draw a larger transparent drag image depending on the size of the window and for higher resolution images this may crash Xnview or cause unnecessary problems like temp space

If I was wrong then please disregard what I commented on above, I was trying to help. Although, personally i don't support this suggestion.

That's it, except there is no need for transparency of the image at full resolution, a thumnail or a simple icon is enough. :D

It is an essential function when looking for textures or pictures.

Thx budz45 for your picture.

Best regards,

Léon

such as holding down a hotkey (Shift -would be nice) while dragging with mouse. Holding down shift or a another modifier hotkey could make sure the drag n drop can happen

yeah I can now say I support this feature to be added but only if it doesn't infringe on the rest of xnview/xnview mp. This is totally at the discretion of the developer, Pierre :D

Thank you too for confirming that my speculation was the correct :) I like creating mock-up illusions of wishful features which really strengthen communicating an idea.

yes I would agree on a mini thumbnail and drag icon too (but still with some partial transparency)
