Michael, Sure, that will be nice. Once it's stable, I will let you know. We are trying to add Drag and Drop right now on windows guest/host. By the way, I read your emails about DnD. I found the most difficult thing is how to initiate a drag source inside guest. We are still experiment, if you have ideas, pls inform. Basically, the gui accepts drops, then send a request to guest. and a guest surrogate will act as the drag source object. This is what gets difficult. How to code a virtual drag source? We are implementing this cool feature, when a shortcut is dragged out to host OS, a new one will be created on host that can launches a vm app. The only thing different is that we are using our own shared folder driver inside guest, but should be pretty similar, and easy to add to the main virtualbox code. - huihong

The shortcut will embed a vm name. If you are interested, we should be able to co-ordinate adding your code to VirtualBox.
