(Drag and) Drop support

Open Simon-Laux opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Mainly drag files into the composer, a bit like what desktop has.

For iPhone this helps when I make a screenshot it hovers in the side and I expect to be able to drop it into the composer to send it directly (or better put it into the draft of course). (also you can switch apps which dragging an image/file, which I just found out)

For iPad this is useful when multitasking like files or gallery app one one side and deltachat on the other side.

For running the iOS app on macOS this makes the app more complete and intuitive to use.

do you know of an app where this works? i did not manage to drag'n'drop a screenshot that way to some other app.

for ipad, this is probably useful, macos os no goal currently, see https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-ios/issues/1670#issuecomment-1214437428

so, all in all, first step seems to be to check out if it is simple to do. if not, we should spend the development resources to something else.

the system apps and apps by apple basically. the trick is dragging with one finger than using a second finger to switch apps.

I (as user) want it on iphone, the others are nice but I don't really care.
