Embedded files support patch (uncompressed)
The patch was maid agains SWT 3122.
Any progress with the bug? I can provide a patch agains SWT 3.2. Any changes it will be included into 3.3? *** Bug 238973 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** CQ:WIND00224041 As an Eclipse for C/C++ user, I want to take a .c file attached to an E-Mail in Outlook and drag it either (a) into the editor area for viewing, or (b) into a folder in the Project Explorer for adding to my project. This would be a great usability enhancement for team collaboration. Currently it fails; when dragging into the editor area it's particularly annoying since a "copy" feedback hint is given for drop, but then only a space character gets dropped. DND "promises" seem to be the "drag into Eclipse" counterpart of what bug 196176 requests when dragging "out of Eclipse". Could this patch be considered for Eclipse 3.7 / 4.1 ? *ping* Can you check the provided patch, and consider it for 3.7/3.8? TIA, Ciao, hh (In reply to comment #6 *ping* *traceroute* ;) Can we get a technical comment from the swt team about this one? Let me know if there is anything we can do to help speed up a fix in this area! :) Helmut Can you point to doc that describes what a 'promise' on a file is ? and how to implement it ? The patch is out of date and very large, too hard to see what the code is doing. Note, this bug is not in the plan which means we might not have the resource to implement this feature (depends on the size of the work). Other problem is that we don't have Outlook around here, I would need to check around here if I can install it. Do you know if the Express version has the problem ? I am not remember precisely. The bug have been reported too long ago... The problem does not occur with Outlook Express. The patch basically implements new trasfer type. On MacOS X this is file promise. http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/DragandDrop/DragandDrop.pdf On Windows it projects to CFSTR_FILECONTENTS and CFSTR_FILEDESCRIPTOR http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb776902(v=VS.85).aspx#CFSTR_FILECONTENTS Hi, Is there any working patch for the issue. any tentative date for the fix. This is a one-off bulk update. (The last one in the triage migration). Moving bugs from swt-triaged@eclipse to platform-swt-inbox@eclipse.org and adding "triaged" keyword as per new triage process: https://wiki.eclipse.org/SWT/Devel/Triage See Bug 518478 for details. Tag for notification/mail filters: @TriageBulkUpdate This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie. |
