Barrier: Tracker issue: Drag and Drop.

Created on 28 Aug 2020 · 4Comments · Source: debauchee/barrier

Due to the numerous issues created, without any sign of checking for duplicate issues, I have taken this opportunity to _close_ those issues about drag and drop not working in favour of a centralised tracking issue.

Please only comment on this issue with constructive and positive messages that will facilitate the development and maintenance of drag and drop support. Unconstructive messages will be removed if they do not fit the discussion. Reacting to messages is fine, however, as it indicates the general feeling towards construction and maintenance of drag and drop.

Thank you :smile:

Using Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS as the server and Windows 10 Pro as the client, I can not drag and drop files.
This also means that I can't copy/paste the files...

Doesn't seem like there's been an update to this in a few weeks so I wanted to double-check.

You don't need to double-check. If the issue hasn't been updated, please assume nothing has changed. Which it hasn't. I only say this so the tracker issue doesn't get "noisy" with comments asking if there's been any progress etc....

Personally, I would prefer a file transfer that was very clunky (even just pasting the source and destination filenames into text boxes) but worked, rather than something with a smooth interface (like drag and drop) but is unreliable. This is especially the case with Linux - I don't believe drag and drop is even intended to work on Linux but Linux-Windows is my primary use case, so anything at all would be a great help with that.

(Apologies for commenting on this high-activity thread but I think this is genuinely new content. Those that agree/disagree with my preference had add their reactions accordingly to this comment.)
