Open documents with drag&drop

Open kparal opened this issue 6 years ago • 4 comments

Hello, can you please allow opening documents by dragging and dropping the file onto the application window?

Thanks for the report.

This should only be allowed on an "empty" window, right?

That would be a great start :-) For windows with some content already, I'd either replace the content (the same way as you can do Open right now and replace existing content; ideally with a confirmation dialog when there's some unsaved work), or perhaps you can consider appending the pages (possibly with a user question: replace/append/cancel)? I'm quite surprised pdfslicer can't merge pages from several pdf files, I thought it could do that :-)

Thanks for your suggestions.

I know this will sound disappointing, but I think I will settle with just allowing this on empty windows.

Merging pages from different pdf files is something I've yet to implement, since it's not just UI work. I'm tracking that at #30.
