File copy method by drag and drop

Post by kirinsha »

Hi,

I'm using UltraVNC Viewer 1.1.9.0.
I would like to copy files by drag and drop from remote PC.
Isn't there any method of doing a file copy by drag and drop?

Thanks.

Drag and drop is a little simpler than the current button implementation, however it's a pretty insignificant efficiency gain.

I'm wondering if you're actually asking for copying functionality outside of the file transfer window that is a little more feature-rich? I'm just speculating so I could be in left field.

Sure, the file transfer window is nice.

However, if drag and drop could be used, I thought that it was convenient to copy only one file easily.
It will give up, if there is no method.

Thank you for the reply. :P

drag and drop is hard.
The viewer is just an image, if you drop the file on the viewer you drop it on the image, not on the remote windows.
Also, i didn't wrote the FT piece myself... changing other people parts is harder then making it yourself.

I understood that development was hard.

Although drag and drop may be not mounted, I will write in the BB of 'Feature requests'.
I'd appreciate it if developer team will consider.

Thank you and regards. :)

And I just meant a little simpler from the user's perspective. It doesn't provide any new functionality and makes something not hard to do, not hard to do.

I created a drag and drop mechanism between a treeview and a listview one time, and it was a ton of work to get going that ended up being a little buggy.
