I need to comment your answer, so it will be one more posting... | | We use XDND or Motif for the drag and drop protocol since Sorry, Chris, but this is not true. I tested now (Konqueror 2.2.1, KDE 2.2.1, Mozilla 0.9.5) 1) dragging url from Konq's location bar to Mozilla's location bar -> doesn't work 2) dragging text file to Mozilla's location bar or to browser's space -> doesn't work 3) dragging HTML file to Mozilla's location bar or to browser's space -> doesn't work at the same time, a) dragging URL from Konq's Location bar to another Konq's location bar -> works b) dragging URL from Konq's Location bar to Kmail -> works, you can't D'n'D a whole folder but if you have web page or file opened - file will be attached to the mail c) dragging URL from Konq's Location bar to Desktop -> works. And wow - I see wonderful HTML page preview on desktop after it! :-) | As for the clipboard we do some of our own hand rolling. Probably this is the reason for all problems. | If there are bugs ( and | there might well be ) feel free to file a bug at | http://bugzilla.mozilla.org. Thanks for advise, but I strongly back this article (originally published on NewsForge) http://kde2.newmail.ru/Learning_from_Mozilla_mistakes.html "Those who don't study history are doomed to repeat it." As I wrote in comments to this article, "It's not very common to find constructive critics of Mozilla project. Therefor I was very much surprised to find very interesting article by Robin 'Roblimo' Miller, analyzing in histrorycal aspect problems of Netscape and Mozilla." | | --Chris -- Vadim Plessky http://kde2.newmail.ru (English) 33 Window Decorations and 6 Widget Styles for KDE http://kde2.newmail.ru/kde_themes.html KDE mini-Themes http://kde2.newmail.ru/themes/ _______________________________________________ Render mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/render
