Re: drag and drop image import?

[Klaus Major]

Hi Eric,

I would like to be able to drag an image to a metacard stack, drop  
the image,

and have the stack recognize it as an image and import it.

I have no idea the properties if that is even possible, I sort of  
doubt it. I
could script opening a directory and importing the image no  
problem, or even a
whole folder of images. But what I've not yet figured out is  
whether there is

any way to poll the cursor for dragged images (on any platform).


you could use my nice plug-in "2lz3" for MC (and/or "2lz2" for Rev)  
which

supplies some DnD scripts for newly created stacks (and much more :-).

Or check my "Drag and Drop Lite" stack, available via Rev-online.


Ideas?


Regards

Hi Eric,

I  have uploaded a drag and drop stack for you that will import (or link to) 
image  files, supports multiple drop selections and handles text by way of an  
example...

[Chipp Walters]

Try this:

Create a blank image object on your stack. Set the lockLoc of it to 
true. Set it's script:


on dragenter
  set the acceptdrop to true
end dragenter

on dragDrop
  get the dragdata
  if it is not empty then
put it into tFile
if char -4 to -1 it is ".jpg" then
  set the filename of me to it
end if  
  end if
end dragDrop

That should get you started :-)

best,

Chipp
