love.window.isDropping
Original report by hahawoo (Bitbucket: hahawoo, GitHub: hahawoo).
I think it would be nice if there was a function which returned whether the user is dragging a file/directory over the window but hasn't released the mouse button yet, so a "drop file here!" message could display or something.
Briefly looking at the SDL docs, I guess this would mean setting some internal value when SDL_DROPBEGIN and SDL_DROPFILE happen (if those events do what I assume they do).
Original comment by Gabe Stilez (Bitbucket: z0r8, ).
I'm kinda thinking this is OS-dependent; in windows, i'm not sure if the löve window can actually detect when the cursor is over it.
I might be wrong though; no idea how (or when) DROPBEGIN is detected.
Original comment by Bart van Strien (Bitbucket: bartbes, GitHub: bartbes).
Looking at the docs, it kind of suggests DROPBEGIN and DROPCOMPLETE are a grouping mechanism. So if two files are dropped, you'd get DROPBEGIN, DROPFILE, DROPFILE and DROPCOMPLETE.
The desired functionality here actually isn't possible yet, until SDL adds it: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/5292
For love 11.4, I've created a basic library https://github.com/EngineerSmith/isdropping to get a similar behaviour - but isn't perfect with the issue of not having a SDL event for it. Adding this comment here if anyone needs a solution around this for now
