Draging and dropping files doesn't open them

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Drag a file from the files browser to Ulipad

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected :

Ulipad open the file in a new tab and let you edit it.

Got instead :

Ulipad writes the file path in the currently opened file.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I am using UliPad 4.0 on Ubuntu 9.10. Python is 2.6.4, GTK is 2.18.

Please provide any additional information below.

If pasting the file path is a wanted behavior, then at least dropping the
file on the tabs bar should open the file.

You can't drop a filename to document area directly, you should drop it to 
directory 
browser pane.

That's too bad, most of the text editors work that way.

Anyway, thanks for the tip, I'll use it that way !

Because I tried what you want, but failed. Ulipad uses STC control, and it 
seems not 
support drop text any more if I implement drop filename to it. So I implement 
drop 
filename in directory browser pane.

Isn't it possible to let the drop text support, and if you detect that the 
dropped 
string starts wit "file://", you set it to "" and you open a new tab ? Ok maybe 
I 
should talk less and code more...

I also want to do what you want, but I faild before. So if someone can help me 
to 
implement it in Ulipad, I'll very glad to merge them into Ulipad.
