Support file drops on app icon #27

Open csparker247 opened 4 years ago

csparker247 commented 4 years ago

Qt5 supports dropping files onto the app icon in order to open them. However, these drops are given by the event system as a series of individual File Opens rather than as a list of File Opens. This prevents us from properly adding a group of files to the Queue with the same encode settings. We need to explore alternatives to this problem.

File drops on the app icon will be disabled until this is solved.

This has not been addressed in Qt, so I've resuggested it here: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-89774

In the meantime, dragging to the app icon is enabled, but will trigger the Settings window for each and every item dropped. Prefer to use this with a few files or directories.

Another bug related to this is that the first item to be dropped automatically starts encoding using the last used preset setting.
