Hi All, Chilton Webb posted a question on Facebook:
"Hi, I'm trying to drag an image off a webpage into a livecode object. Currently, I'm using dragdata["image"], and it returns empty. Other options return the url the image points to, but none of them return a url to the image itself. In a Cocoa app, I can confirm that there is image data there, in the drop event, the form of NSTIFFPboardType. How do I get at that data, from inside LiveCode? Is it likely to also fail in the same way, on Windows?" After some tests, the problem appear to be that Livecode does not recognize the dragData of an image. When did LiveCode's dragData recognize the dropped data as image? To test this, paste this script in a field and 1) drag an image from a webpage... 2) drag an image from a folder... on dragDrop put the keys of the dragdata -- look at the message box if the dragData["text"] is not empty then put the dragdata["text"] into tVar if char -4 to -1 of tVar is among the items of ".jpg,.png,.gif" then create img set the filename of it to tVar end if end if pass dragDrop end dragDrop a) Dragging an image from a webpage, Livecode dragData results are: Unicode, Text b) Dragging a JPG image from the Pictures folder results are: Files, Text When did LiveCode dragData recognize the dropped data as image?
