However, that had no effect. :-(
If the code in x-dnd-drop-data is going to always bind
this variable, then it is useless to make it customizable.
Yes, that was the main point of my bug report ;-)
There are two cases: dropping in a specific window, and dropping
elsewhere on the frame. Perhaps we should change one
of those two cases NOT to bind dnd-open-file-other-window,
or change it somehow.
Which is the case that you want to customize?
Hmm, initially I had only thought of dropping in a specific window and wanted
to customize that. Only now I realize that dropping on, e.g., the titlebar
makes
a difference. I would suggest to change the first case (dropping in a window)
not to let x-dnd-drop-data bind dnd-open-file-other-window.
There is also a special case which I see now. Dropping in the minibuffer gives
an error:
Error: (error Cannot switch buffers in minibuffer window)
In that case, x-dnd-drop-data should probably bind dnd-open-file-other-window
to t.
