Needs file previews! And drag and drop from the finder (or file browser) #150

I love this project it makes my work so much easier!

It would be LEGEND if I could see file previews and I could drag and drop files over from the finder/file browser

Ps: being able to set favorite folders from your disk would be nice.

You guys Rock!

Thanks @josh-andersn

File previews is something I tried to work on https://github.com/ganeshrvel/openmtp/issues/144, but there are certain challenges to it.

I tried to get the "drag and drop files over from the finder/file browser" working but again due to "Electron" restrictions I wasn't able to get it done. Basically electron.js isn't giving me the access to the file object dragged into the app.

being able to set favorite folders from your disk

I will add an issue for this. I will keep you updated and thank you for your support.

I know it is easier said than done, but if Electron is the limitation, how about migrating to a different GUI toolkit? :-)

There is some news. I'm currently rebuilding the OpenMTP app from scratch to make it more lightweight, smooth, and feature-rich. In the newer version of the MTP kernel, which I am also building from scratch in Rust language, the thumbnail feature seems to be working fine.

Once the upgraded app is released, you will be able to experience this feature.
