File opening alternatives

[beanie86]

Hi all,

IN FX, you can open an individual files using the normal file > open and se=
lecting a file. I was wondering if it is possible to drag and drop a file i=
nto a GUI and open it that way?

Thanks in advance

Stuar

I know that that feature has been requested in the past, but as far as  
I know, you still can't drag a file from the Windows explorer and drop  
it onto a FOX (or FXRuby) application. This would require some changes  
in FOX to add support for that.

Yes, but only under Unix/X11 when the other application [the one doing the
dragging] supports XDND.

The exception is if the other application is a FOX application; then it
works on all platforms.
