[Bug] Drag and Drop not working on Linux
OS and Version
Arch Linux with TKMM 1.0.0-beta6, running through XWayland on Hyprland
Describe the Issue
When drag-and-dropping files on the below area, nothing happens. This has been tried with both Nautilus and Dolphin file managers.
It's probably something to do with Linux on my end, but I think a different form of input like adding a text input would be a nice addition that would solve this. Another idea is making it so pressing on the area would open a file dialogue on its own, as that seemed to work fine in the setup process.
I switched DEs, and it does not seem to be working on Xorg either. I tried it with i3wm and GNOME, both on Xorg, and it still does nothing. i3 even had a 🚫 for the mouse when I tried to drop it.
As far as I know, linux does not support drag/drop. I haven't looked into it much though.
Drag&Drop Support is definitely possible on Linux. For instance, i'm using i3, and i can easily drag files from my browser's (floorp) downloads popup into my file explorer (nautilus), to the point where i can even drop them on top of a folder to copy them into that folder.
That being said, it depends a lot on the applications used. For instance when i use File-Roller (a File Archiver like 7zip on Windows) it does not support the "Drag" Part at all, so you can't even start the drag process. On the other hand, i've noticed some file managers in the past not supporting the "Drop" Part.
So AFAIK (don't quote me on this) a program like this would have to support the "drop", while whatever file explorer the users are using have to support "drag", which is 100% out of control of the other program.
