Drag N Drop

[Doomsdayrs]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I opened this application to quickly do a hash gen. I took the file, and did a DnD from the File Manager. I noticed, it did not load :cry:

Describe the solution you'd like Support DnD to hash a file

Thanks for raising this issue!

Currently there's a blocking issue, as far as I'm aware, that prevents me from adding DnD again. While there's a portal for it, it hasn't been backported to GTK3 yet and since Nautilus(/ GNOME Files) is still GTK3 (on the majority of distros at least), DnD will not work.

I'll give it another try when I get the time to, but for now I'll mark it as stalled.

DnD is already fixed in GTK 4.8.1 and since Nautilus 43 will also be in GTK4, there should be no blockers left.

Thanks for letting me know! I'll get on this as soon as possible!

Nautilus v43.0 and still no Drag'n'drop! :cry:

Also, could it be possible to add an option directly in the nautilus right-click menu?

Sorry about the wait, there's currently an issue with drag-n-drop and the portal so it has to stay as a draft until it gets fixed.

Also, could it be possible to add an option directly in the nautilus right-click menu?

No, I don't think that's possible to do without an extension.

What I can do however is upstream some of the changes in the drag-n-drop PR and add Collision in the "Open With..." context entry:

Recording of a GNOME desktop with the Files app open. There's a file named test.txt. User right clicks it and selects the open with context entry. Afterwards, a popup to select the app to open it with shows up. User selects Collision. Then the Collision up shows up with that file's hashes.
