3 years ago With the ability to drag and drop audio files from the filesystem (PR: https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/51650), this proposal could allow for quickly adding non-spatial AudioStreamPlayer nodes by dragging an audio file into the scene tree. Rather than the spatial ones that are created by dragging audio files into the viewport
Describe the project you are working on: Top down action game, card game
Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project: Right now I can drag and drop scenes and assets like Sprites from the file panel to the viewport, but I cannot drop them to the scene panel (see gif below)
Describe how this feature / enhancement will help you overcome this problem or limitation: Drag'n'drop a sprite into a viewport is a lot faster than clicking the plus sign, searching for "Sprite", click ok, grabbing a texture and drag'n'dropping it into the sprites texture resource. For continuity but also to have a mechanism to conveniently and fast and accurate placing at the 0.0 position without having to turn on snapping first, I would like to drag'n'drop the files that allow drag and drop to the viewport also to the scene panel. This is an operation I do many many times a day, especially when prototyping.
Show a mock up screenshots/video or a flow diagram explaining how your proposal will work:
Describe implementation detail for your proposal (in code), if possible: I don't know any C++
If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?: It's a minor improvement of the built in UX, so I don't think so.
Is there a reason why this should be core and not an add-on in the asset library?: No one will/would/should go to the asset library to download minor UX improvements like this.
