You should find that Cream respects drag and drop from a nearby file browser of your operating system. From a project perspective, this is the most reliable way to provide the feature. At one point Cream did provide an in-built browser in the form of the opsplorer tree file explorer plugin: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=362 IMO, it was the best of all the plugins out there trying to do similar things. But Vimscript is not a good tool for processing operating system paths and files. It uses extreme text parsing and has a lot of opportunities for bugs, especially across platforms and with filenames that include non-alphanumeric characters. In an effort to keep the project on track, I eventually removed it. Vim has this same type of "feature" included in the form of the netrw plugin. It too has lots of bugs when used outside of a very controlled environment. I've never been able to use it on Windows or across a network connection. I became frustrated with its feature creep over basic stability and gave up trying to climb the mountain to incorporate it into Cream. -- Steve Hall [ digitect dancingpaper com ] :: Cream for Vim http://cream.sourceforge.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.
