Enhancement: Change Drag n Drop to File Upload #111

Closed z3dev closed 8 years ago

z3dev commented 8 years ago

There are browsers that don't support HTML5 drag and drop. In these case, the Drag and Drop should morph into a simple File upload button, and support all the various file types.

z3dev commented 8 years ago

Closing as the enhancement was added in version 0.5.0

Hey,

Sorry for asking this here, but what is the relationship between the version on openjscad.org and the one you're referencing?

I still don't see this feature on the main openjscad.org site. Should I clone a dev branch or something?

Thanks!

The last release has this feature. Please try the website, www.openjscad.org

Basically, the JavaScript detects that the browser is running on a mobile device (not easy), and then adds a file load button.

Let me know if this doesn't work with your device and or browser.

Oh, I see!

I think it would be very handy to also have a simple file upload button on desktop.
I know some people who don't actually have a graphical file browser installed, and in my opinion the drag-and-drop solution adds some unnecessary steps to the process - after all, I still have to navigate to the jscad file regardless of whether I'm doing so in nautilus/explorer/finder or in the browser's "upload file" popup.

By the way, thanks for your work on OpenJSCAD. I use it for pretty much any 3D models I make nowadays.
