Hi,

Great idea! I love DnD... :)

Having different behaviors depending where you drop (DV, Sidebar, Summary View) is tempting (I personally would like it and can certainly manage it) but I'd like the usability specialists to chime in. There's also a discoverability issue... Could we change the cursor icon depending on where you drop so to give the user some visual feedback? Hmmm...

Worth some thoughts.

Cheers,
- Philippe

Hi Folks,

I'd like to add a feature where iCalendar files dragged into Chandler
are imported automatically.

There are a couple of potential issues with this:

- Occasionally the user will really want to attach the ics file to an
email.  Perhaps dragging to the Detail View should have this effect?

- Should a dialog pop up, when dragging happens, to prompt whether
alarms and status should be imported, or should import just happen, with
some reasonable default?  My vote would be for the latter.

- Would it make sense for dragging to a specific sidebar collection to
import into that collection?

Sincerely,
Jeffrey
