DnD issues from firefox AFAIK have nothing to do with GIMP... Its the way FF
handles dragging of images. The path resulting from dragging an image is not
a valid file path, because firefox cache is a bit different than IE-s simple
filesytem. In Linux it seems firefox passes URL-s and GIMP fetches the
image...
As to debug output --verbose and -c flags are needed.

Bug 561973 was filed by someone else about problems using Drag-and-drop
from Firefox images to Gimp 2.6.3 in Windows. (Drag-and-drop from IE or
from an IEView tab in Firefox works fine)
Sven requested that OP post results from Gimp-log showing drag-and-drop
events.
I tried unsuccessfully to get this info. (see selected posts from that
bug below).
Sven requested that someone else tell this fellow (me :-)) how to do
it in Windows. No response so far on the bug.
Any takers?

FWIW: running Gimp 2.6.3 on Windows XP SP3 - drag-n-drop of an image from
Firefox 3.0.4 does NOT work, but does from IE7. Fortunately, using Firefox
addon IEView to switch to use the IE rendering engine DOES allow images to
be
dragged to GIMP (either creating a new layer if dragged onto an open image
or a
new image if dragged onto toolbox).
IIRC: I'd seen somewhere (wrt to an earlier 2.4 or 2.6 version) that dnd
from
IE7 worked but did not work from Firefox. I tried to find a bugzilla report
about this w/o success so I guess it had never been filed before?
When attempting to drag from Firefox it shows the slashed-circle icon.
re: Gimp-log ...
I opened a command window and executed:
set GIMP_LOG=dnd
D:\Program Files\GIMP-2.6\bin\gimp-2.6.exe
and then dragged from the IEView tab in Firefox to the empty window display
which worked but I can't find any file that GIMP is logging to. It doesn't
appear in the command window.
Starting gimp --help shows an option -c for console window and I thought
that
might be where the gimp-log output would go to - apparently not!
All I get in that window is two lines (apparently irrelevant):
Skipping duplicate plug-in: 'D:\Program
Files\GIMP-2.6\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\gap
_plugins.exe'
Skipping duplicate plug-in: 'D:\Program
Files\GIMP-2.6\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\gap
_video_extract.exe'

DND from IE-View tab in Firefox continues to work but fails from normal
Firefox
tab.

We need the debug output. Can anyone please tell this fellow how to get the
debug output on Windows?
