Thanks Måns for confirming my findings.
Looking through the release notes, its clear the FF people messed
around with the drag-drop routines again. Overall, it looks like the
code should be simpler going forward (looks like the FileDropPlugin
uses specialty component calls that may not be needed now), but for
the moment things are messed up.
The un-pretty hack I've made is to edit the entire TW source code,
changing the body tag to look like this:
<body onload="main();" onunload="if(window.unload) unload();"
ondragover="event.stopPropagation(); event.preventDefault();"
ondrop="event.stopPropagation();event.preventDefault();config.macros.fileDrop.dragDropHandler(event);"
>
That "ondragover" close appears to be necessary now.
Greater minds than mine willl have to come up with the elegant
solution. Its possible there are other changes that will require
further tweaking. Those %1, %2 ... options may have shifted. But the
simple example that comes with the plugin seems to work OK.
This is the second time in about 6 months that the FF people have
changed the drag/drop technology in FF. Last one was at 3.5. While I'm
sure its all for the better, they don't seem to be thinking about
backwards compatibility. This is making me wonder whether its smart to
be crafting a document management system based on underlying
technology that is so volatile.
