Re: [Taverna-users] Direct string import by drag and drop?

Hi, Alan wrote: Copy/Cut and Paste, and keyboard shortcuts can all be done see http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/dnd/cutpaste.html . I think the difficulty will be deciding what the appropriate actions to bind are. Piter de Boer is using the standard java possibilities in VBrowser and I think he took the most pragmatic approach: when VBrowser knows a what an item is it can do fancy things, but if it doesn't it simply takes it as a string. This is often very intuitive. So I think you could take an incremental approach, start with importing everything as a string and add more fancy bindings later. Piter can give you more detail, but note that today he officially has the day off. Cheers, Marco.

Where would you drag the string from? I usually use copy-and-paste to move stings around from different applications (to avoid having to move all the windows around just to drag a little thing across), so if we do add support for this I guess it should also work from Edit-Paste and the usual shortcuts..?
