An XDS Example
Saturday, November 1st, 2008
I wanted to implement a draggable save button in my GTK+ app. This lets the user save his file by dragging the document’s icon from the application onto the desktop or a file browser window.
Drag and drop (DND) is an intuitive approach to file management and XDS avoids the problem of novice users trying to use the file selector dialog as a file manager. However it’s not suitable for mouseless or limited-mouse users, so applications must also provide the conventional file selector.
