If you are using the desktop integration plugin with KDE (maybe GNOME too), the fileselector can return different protocols depending where the file is. Of course Tcl won't be able to open the files. So what we could so is check, is the first a /? If yes continue, because this was most likely gotten via the tk file selector. Otherwise search for :// and see what it is prepended with. If it isn't file://, then print out a error that you can only open files from the file system. If it is file://, then get rid of it.
This should also probably be done at the level of the plugin. Btw, what do the file selectors have to do with the drag and drop? Is it that different file managers give different paths when using dnd? -- Karol Krizka
