# dnd Hi! I was working on this project over a few weekends and I think it's finally ready. Maybe some of you can make an use of it. Please leave a feedback - issues, suggestions, etc. :)
## About [dnd](https://github.com/adokitkat/dnd) is a bi-directional drag and drop source/target inspired by [dragon.c](https://github.com/mwh/dragon) written in Nim and [gintro](https://github.com/StefanSalewski/gintro) (GTK). I think it's useful when you normally just use a terminal and need to drag and drop something e.g. into a web browser. You don't need to open a file manager, just run `dnd *` which shows a window with drag and drop source list of all of files in a current directory you're in and simply drag it from there. [Here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbegEIczdNQ) is a video explaining dragon if you don't know what I am talking about. ### Key differences with _dragon_ * is bi-directional (in dragon the source mode is default, the target mode is available via `dragon -t` flag, you cannot use both at the same time) - just run `dnd` and a window with a target area appears, run `dnd file1.txt file2.html` and a windows with two file drag sources and one target drop area * has `dnd.cfg` config file where you can store presets - is the config file is found, Default preset is loaded, you can load a different one via `dnd -p=Alt` where `Alt` is a name of a different preset - you don't have to run dnd every time with the same flags like `dnd -k -c -t:false -o:0.9`, just set it in your `dnd.cfg` file as a default preset and run `dnd` * automatically reads input from `stdin` as a source when text is piped into it, e.g. `find . -name "*.txt" | dnd`, you can also use program arguments at the same time too `find . -name "*.txt" | dnd file2.html` and displays all of it (in dragon you have to run it with additional flag `dragon -I`) * aesthetic options - a resizable window, you can set window dimensions, opacity, set if `dnd` window is decorated by a window manager, open `dnd` window in the center of you screen, open `dnd` window where your mouse cursor currently is, etc. * maybe I forgot something :) More info at: <https://github.com/adokitkat/dnd> ## Acknowledgments I want to thank Dr. @Stefan_Salewski for help with [gintro](https://github.com/StefanSalewski/gintro) and Michael Homer (mhw) for the original program and inspiration.
