No archive modification by DND #230

Open tenplus1 opened 3 years ago

tenplus1 commented 3 years ago

It seems that I am unable to add a file to an archive by dragging & dropping a file into the lxqt-archiver window/folder, file-roller allows you to do this using PcManFm-Qt although since this is based on the Engrampa it may be missing.

No, DND into archives isn't implemented and I don't think it's a good idea because archives might be modified by mistake.

Use "Add File" and "Add Folder" actions.

since this is based on the Engrampa it may be missing

The core code is based on Engrampa — actually, on file-roller — but the GUI isn't.

I changed the title because DND is reserved for opening archives.

Thanks for the quick reply, unfortunately DND is something I use regularly for easy of use and simplicity so lack thereof only means returning to file-roller and not this good qt implementation.l

@tenplus1 The feature you want could be implemented easily but it would clash with the current behavior of lxqt-archiver. Maybe, it can be implemented as an option, with the current behavior as the default. If so, we might need to add a Preferences dialog to lxqt-archiver or....

Hi, I'm also wishing that DND was supported. An option at the very least would be very nice, since every other archiver has it
