That would be very useful, great idea! I'll happily help you get that
going if you are willing to take it on. I don't think it would be
very hard to do. Basically, just take the plugin I wrote, but bind to
the canvas widget that the object makes rather than the patch window.
Then it would call a Tcl proc which would send the info to pd to be
output from the outlet. hcs/cursor is an example of that.
What I've been thinking of doing is have file association patches, so
like wav.pd, mov.pd, mp3,pd, etc. Then when you drop a .wav file onto
a canvas, it would copy-n-paste the contents of wav.pd where you
dropped the .wav file.

A bit of a variation on what João is suggesting, but I think a simple
[cnv]-like gui object that will take a drag-and-drop file and output
the path and filename would be nice. Something that just defines an
area to drop on. Then you could just do simple things like stick the
[cnv] behind an array and drop a soundfile on it to load, for example.

one of the first things to do could be a drag+drop version of
openpanel. I
suggest to make it with an "take whole canvas" option - so that a

be dropped anywhere in the canvas, and it's symbol location goes to
the
relevant patch sequence.
Patko and I just got TkDND working on Windows and included Pd-
extended
0.43. That means tomorrows nightly build should have it included,
and
its ready for scripting with. TkDND allows Pd to handle drag-n-drop
events, so you can do things like drop a file onto the Pd window
to open
it (implemented in the attached plugin) or drop a pd patch onto a
canvas
to make an object (also kind of implemented in the plugin).
There are lots of interesting ideas possible, I'm hoping you will
play
with it and see what kinds of stuff we can do. I forgot who
originally
implemented the TkDND stuff for Pd, but this is based on that
work, so
thanks for that.
