Why not? I can easily see how to implement (1) and (2). I'm not saying it will be easy to do -- it would likely take several hours work -- but I don't see any technical problem with doing it. I'm sure somebody like Mike Hansen who knows the notebook code would agree. I would do the above by adding something to .sage/sage_notebook that has the port of the currently running sage notebook server (if one is running), then at a Resource in sage/server/notebook/twist.py that handles uploading an sws (there is already one, probably). Then add a command line option to sage/local/bin/sage-sage for handling sws files. > I can see two things: > > (a) dropping a sws into firefox and having Sage deal with the event > some way > > (b) write something more full fledged on a CoCoA level and have that > deal with drag & drop events > > Unfortunately I don't have the time, but some other people might have > written code in that direction already. > >> William > > Cheers, > > Michael > > > -- William Stein Associate Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://wstein.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
