Sometime in 2004 I made a simple utility to determine drag and drop types. Every now and again someone finds it useful. I have ignored it for the entirety of 2005 despite a very useful patch from Christian Persch that arrived back in May. Finally, I have taken another look at it. This is embarrassing.
The stupid bugs I have fixed:
- None of the keyboard shortcuts worked.
- The drag events which are the whole point of the program weren’t recognised in 80% of the window area.
- There are only two buttons; their accelerators conflicted.
- I had reimplemented functions that GtkTextView supplies automatically. Half of mine didn’t work properly.
That is an astounding ratio of bugs to functionality. So, to try and restore my credibility (and to expose Christian’s patch to the public), there is a new version available on my software page.
Be warned that it can crash nautilus 2.12.1 when dragging from the desktop.
