For the drag and drop possibility, I agree, it should be possible.

But I think an interresting solution could be to let the user select in the configuration the fields he wants to see. But, as it's something a little bit long to implement, I would prefer to keep it for later (I will add it too to the bug tracker). > We > could then allow the user to copy an inserted file's CHK or SSH to > the clipboard, or use drag and drop for this. > > Just some food for thought... > > Ian. > _______________________________________________ > Thaw mailing list > Thaw at freenetproject.org > http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thaw -- Jerome Flesch.
