5 URLDragAndDrop does not work with Ubuntu 6.10 and Firefox - ID: 1619410

Last Update: Comment added ( roebling )

Details:

Hello!

There is not much to say but the URLDragAndDrop sample does not work at all
on my system. Neither the dragging to the browser nor the dragging from the
browser to the wxPython application.

The strange thing is that dragging a URL from the browser to the widget
where you are supposed to _start_ a drag from the application works? It
looks to me that something goes utterly wrong here.

Ubuntu 6.10, wxPython 2.8.0.1

Please let me know if somebody can reproduce this problem on Linux.

Best regards
Noel

Date: 2008-03-01 17:39 Sender: roebling I have added a wxGTK implementation for wxURLDataObject to TRUNK, I'm not sure if I can fix 2.8 in a binary compatible way.
Date: 2008-02-25 18:53 Sender: robind Robert, we already have wxURLDataObject, but on non-MSW platforms it is currently just a simple derivation of wxTextDataObject. Giving it a specific implementation for wxGTK that uses the same atom type(s) as used by the common browsers should be all that is needed for this bug.
Date: 2008-02-25 14:23 Sender: pysm I've poked Robin about this, because I need it in my application, Phatch (open source PHoto & bATCH processor): http://photobatch.stani.be Phatch can work with local files or web images. Phatch needs UrlDragAndDrop for two use cases: - You can drag and drop any image from the web on Phatch GUI or droplet to apply effects on it (such as round corners, reflection, perspective, ...) - Part of the program is an EXIF and IPTC metadata inspector for image files. It should accept images which are dragged and dropped from the internet, so photographers can quickly compare each other settings.

Date: 2008-02-25 14:03 Sender: roebling Ok, but this means that well need a special C++ class for this, too, just like for text, bitmaps and file dnd. I'm not sure what the sense for dragging a URL is, but accepting would be nice.
Date: 2008-02-22 17:03 Sender: robind It depends on what is standard for the platform for URLs. IIRC on Windows there is a CFSTR_SHELLURL data format type, but browsers and other applications typically use a plain text data format as well, so wxURLDataObject is a composite with both text and CFSTR_SHELLURL formats. I think that when we first made wxURLDataObject browsers on *nix used plain text object for dragging URLs, but apparently that has changed somehow.
Date: 2008-02-22 14:56 Sender: roebling I've got no idea how this is supposed to work. What wxDataFormat are you using? Is there one for URLs defined under MSW?
Date: 2008-02-20 00:58 Sender: robind Robert, do you know how to deal with this?
Date: 2008-01-23 14:43 Sender: pysm It also doesn't work on Ubuntu 7.10 with wxPython 2.8.4
