Drag and Drop option for Files

[asafbenzaken]

Hi!

I Think it will be great to add a feature that allow me to drag a file
to the Client window and the File Transfer will automaticlly open
and ask to where i want to Drop the file (in which directory i mean).

This will be very very usefull!

Thank you for you GREAT application!

and full usage of available bandwith. FT is slow with uvnc 10.X,1.0.0 also 1.0.1., i think.

How to distinguish the mouse movement for the D&D operation from one to be sent to the server?!

I'm not a programmer so bear with me...

Isn't there a way for the Viewer to see when you're dragging and dropping a file on top of the window? 7-zip just implemented this D&D feature, maybe you could use their source? I kind of doubt it, but I don't really know lol. But when you D&D files onto the 7-zip manager, it just shows a little + sign beside the mouse and then initiates a Add To Archive command on that file. Couldn't we have the Viewer respond this way? D&D a file onto the viewer and it auto-transfers the file to the desktop? (Just onto the window, not into a specific folder that happens to be on the Viewer's screen).

Now this would work for sending a file TO a server (eg. drag and drop a file onto the viewer and it goes to the server's desktop or something), but I have no idea how you would drag and drop a file FROM the server's desktop TO the Viewer's machine. That sounds a lot harder to do.

But maybe you could just implement D&D'ing a file on-top of the viewer to automatically transfer a file to the remote server's desktop? Seems a little easier to me, but like I said, I'm no programmer

EDIT: To clarify, I'm talking about the ability to drag and drop a file onto the viewer's screen, regardless of what you are currently "viewing". In other words I'm not asking for the ability to drag and drop a file from a Viewer's machine onto a specific window that is being viewed on the Server. I'm asking for a simple D&D onto the Viewer - even onto the Title Bar of the Viewer - and this simply auto-transfers the file to a set folder (or perhaps asks for a path) such as C:\UVNC-DOWNLOADS\ on the Server - hope that helps!
