drag n drop and file managers
Hello,
I've been trying out different file managers for linux, and I've run into a snag: Dragging and dropping files to applications doesn't seem to work, except with nautilus. Now I've been told that this is not normal. for example, dropping a file from thunar, rox-filer, emelfm2 to vlc player playlist doesn't work. the icon simply floats back to its folder. If I use nautilus it works fine. Any ideas how to fix this? btw, I'm running yellow dog linux on a ps3. Thanks, Alex |
It depends on the involved applications (both of them), and I think that you really have no control over that.
You might have some luck with newer versions of vlc which are based on qt4 and might have a better compatibility in that regard. Older versions GUI are based on wxwidgets. |
Thanks a lot. Indeed, building the newest vlc from source fixed my problem.
Cheers, Alex |
