[Feature] drag n drop for chat

Open computer-wizard opened this issue 2 years ago • 8 comments

It should be very nice if you can transfer binary files like pictures, etc. using RF-chat. I mean that a copied binary file is transmitted when it is pasted/dropped in the RF-chat window. In the remote RF-chat window an icon will appear with the name of the file or picture what can be opened to see the contents when the download is completed.

Or in chase of a picture, directly the picture is displayed in the receiving remote RF chat window.

Hi, @computer-wizard sending pictures and other files via RF Chat is already possible. Just select a file by clicking the staple right of the text field. Then you can send a message + a file. Or are you talking about "drag and drop" ?

The other feature with image and file preview is planned, but we are focusing on core stability first.

Yes, I was also talking about drag and drop.

Okay, I'd like to rename this issue to "drag and drop like behavior for chat" so its more clear. This needs a big rewrite of the actual data transmission part within chat, so might need some time until this is implemented. But I like to see this feature as well :smile:

@computer-wizard this should be possible in a really basic way with the next release. However, images should be really small because of low speed. Theres also not yet a nice modal for displaying the images. This can be done in future releases.

The new gui supports drag n drop, when dragging a file to the input field for selecting files.

@Mashintime can you have a look regarding to this? It's time for closing this if it's working or adjusting it 🙂

implemented, working for "new message area"

there is no additional information for keeping things simple.
