Under kde, when I try to drag files from the file manager to an app icon to start it, it works fine when draging to an icon in the toolbar, but when draging on a file on the desktop, It doesn't work, it starts the aplication, but without opening the draged file (just like if I just press the icon). Any way to make this work?
Is there a lighter file manager that supports the same dnd (drag and drop) protocol as kde (is it a general protocol, or qt/kde protocol, will gnome file manager work with it?). I am looking for something similar to the mac if it exists. Is there a tutorial or info on the net that anyone can point me to as to how to interact with the dnd protocol? I am trying to write an app that will work similar to simething I saw on the mac that enable to file apps into popup drawers (instead of the desktop) and just to drag the files to start over them to launch. Is there anything of the sort existing for linux?
