Drag&Drop files from Fork into external apps (e.g. Visual Studio...) #2075

Open bytefactory73 opened 9 months ago

Unfortunately the d&d of files and folders is not using the OS functions. so it's not possible to drag a file into MSVC or any other editor. I wish that would be possible (Other tools allow that).

Thx.

I'd also like to see that. Dragging a list of files into Notepad++ / VSCode or any other editor can help a lot quickly adjusting some edited files before commiting.

As Fork for Windows uses WPF it should be easy to add the feature. If the DataObject on the drag&drop is filled with a file drop list this should already work:
