Support drag and drop?
I'm not sure if this is feasible with Allegro, but if drag and drop can be
supported natively with support for Win/Lin/Mac, then it will add more
convenience. Initially, the "load via command line" logic could be used.
Later on, mechanisms like dragging and dropping a new audio file into EOF to
perform "load OGG" could be provided.

Asking on the Allegro IRC channel, it doesn't look like Allegro supports this.
The most likely solution I found so far would involve using the wxWidgets
library.

wxWidgets might also provide a cross-platform way of accessing the clipboard,
but adding yet another dependency to EOF will make it more difficult for people
to build.

It may be worth seeing if Allegro 5 has any built in support for drag and drop.
At least one other third party library supports drag and drop:

But I don't know if it's worth adding a new library just for this functionality.

On hold until the port to Allegro 5.

- Changed state: On_Hold
Allegro 5 still not supports Drag&Drop.

This would take a lot of coding for what amounts to a slight convenience. It
may not be worth the effort.

Allegro 5.1.12 adds the ability to detect, read and set text contents on the OS clipboard. Making full use of this would require capturing copy/cut/paste keyboard shortcuts within the dialog handlers.
