We can actually allow it for remote scripts. As in the untrusted context we have for remotely loaded js now. Currently it is disabled 'cause we are not sure if QFileDialog is safe to give raw for scripting -- haven't checked in detail yet. If it's not, we can add an api func somewhere (even just in the js module) that only gives the result -- the file that the user selected from the gui dialog. Not the full widget, if it would also allow e.g. deleting files or read info from filesystem. So we can do it in any case, and it's easy. Just a bit of work to make sure it's secure for the end user. Whether it's needed in that specific GUI is another question -- quite often it is good to have both file open / browse buttons & drag&drop working. Like if you go to any photo sharing web site, they always have the button too. > Instead to bring a image from local hard drive, just drag and drop the > image file to the scene, it will automatically make a picture frame > and pick it up for carrying. You can also drag and drop power point Ah, I didn't even realize that drag&drop is extended there to do the picture frame + carrying biz -- goodie, gotta test :) > Jonne Nauha ~Toni > On Sat, May 14, 2011 at 2:11 AM, Toni Alatalo <t...@playsign.net> > wrote: > Hi, > > the public demo server has some new quite nice creation tools, > as those who have visited there may have noticed.
