Drag & Drop folder to app icon should open the bash in folder

[crispossa]

In Terminal.app, when I drag & drop some folder to the app icon, it make cd [folder dropped] for me and it's very useful.

Such feature not work in HyperTerm.

Any plans to add this? #

My god, this feature is so cool. We definitely need it in HyperTerm! 🎉 Might be a great idea to built it as a plugin and add it to the default configuration.

[timneutkens]

I agree with @leo would be a cool feature, will have a go at this.. shouldn't be too hard right :wink:

[startupfoundry]

I agree with @crispossa. This is such an ingrained part of my workflow that I had to switch back to iTerm 2. I really hope this gets added so I can give Hyperterm another spin!

[crispossa]

Unfortunately, I don't think this can be achieved with just a plugin, since this feature touches in the OS X API (Open With...). But, I can be wrong....

Cheers.

It is possible with electron (try vscode or atom, they both support it) just got to figure out how to enable dropping on the icon in electron. From what I can see here it might have to be in the core of hyperterm because of this: https://discuss.atom.io/t/how-to-handle-file-when-dragged-on-to-application-icon/12799/5

[timneutkens]

Also as a side note, it's also not possible to drop a file into the current tab. iTerm will automatically insert the file path at the cursor when you do that.

I use this all the time in Terminal.

There are some pull request regarding this issue:

• 307 Enables file drop to dock icon

• 276 Handle the path passed by the dropped file and "cd" to the directory (or execute it if it's a file)

[timothyis]

@lordgiotto Is this issue still valid?

[lordgiotto]

@CodeTheory

307 was merged, so is possible to drop files on the dock icon.

329 Is not merged yet, so for now dropping a file on a dock icon does nothing.

So this issue is not fixed yet :)

[Ravenna]

+1, loving Hyperterm just don't like typing paths to open a folder.

[lordgiotto]

Can be closed due #329 and #307 was merged :)

[crispossa]

Great job! Redownloading app!

[lordgiotto]

@crispossa You have to clone current master, the packaged version is not still updated to that feature: you have to wait the next release for this :)

[crispossa]

I know. Thx.

Hi @lordgiotto,

I've installed the latest canary version (2.0.2) but I can't drag and drop yet. I'm running Mac OS Sierra. Do you have any suggestion?

Thanks!

[ghost]

@lordgiotto I have the same problem. I have version 1.4.8 and Mac OS Sierra but can't drag and drop.

[wolfgangrittner]

@lordgiotto same here, I'm running 1.4.8 on Sierra and dropping a folder (from finder, or any other source) on the dock icon does nothing.

[albinekb]

Looks like we have a regression here, @chabou could this have been accidentally removed in 2.x? 🤔

[chabou]

We have some feedbacks from 1.4.8 too. We maybe have some old regression but not related to 2.X imo

[johnhearfield]

Could someone confirm progress on this? I recently updated to Hyper 3.0.0 (stable) and doesnt seem to be working for either Dock icon or drag and drop on the active window?

[riomarmccartney]

I'm having exactly the same problems since updating to v3, I can't drag and drop directories into the hyper interface anymore.

This is my hyper config .hyper.js

Edit: Still the same after a clean re-install -> My config shouldn't have caused this issue.

I'm having exactly the same problems since updating to v3, I can't drag and drop directories into the hyper interface anymore.

This is my hyper config .hyper.js Edit: Still the same after a clean re-install -> My config shouldn't have caused this issue.

Same here! It used to work perfectly until I updated to v3. Now I'm stuck typing full paths since no drag+drop functionality works.

Any ideas why this was broken with the V3 release?

[HTMLangdon]

Hack:

drag and drop into spotlight/alfred search text you can also drop it in browser url text box, and probably plenty of others. ...anyway.. stupid... but effective until feature is re-added lol

[henryzt]

Any updates on this issue?

[bet4it]

@henryz00 Use v3.1.0-canary.4

[LabhanshAgrawal]

Fixed in #4661
