Re: [Gpsbabel-code] Windows_Drag_and_Drop

[Robert L. <rob...@gp...>]

Yes, you're certainly right. Congratulations for apparently being the first
one in 15 years to read that page. The fact that it recommends NT and XP as
the NEW options gives you some idea how long that page has been around. :-)
I've updated the master, but it'll take some time for that to go live.

Since that was added, we actually have some amount of drag and drop
recognition in the GUI. If your file has an extension that we can
authoritatively associate with one format (so "gpx" but not "wpt", which is
used with a couple of formats) you can drag it to the GUI and we'll spin
the input to the right type and accept the filename to be the drop target.
We can't guess the output filename and format, but once you choose an
output format, we'll remember that for the next time.

We still can't match the zero click of a specialized batch file, so IMO you
found the optimal way for your case. I'm just letting you know we try to
help with some other cases.

Enjoy.
