It could be done but it breaks real plain-text drag/drop: 1. Dragging selected text to other drop targets such as Word, etc... would give them this extra encoded data as part of the text, leaving the user to have to edit it out. 2. All the TW drop targets would now have to start sniffing plain-text, looking for the extra encoded data to determine if it was really plain-text or a tiddler encoded as plain-text. This is the cross-browser drag/drop case. 3. All the non-IE browsers would now have deal with multiple tiddler drag/drop formats just to fix IE's broken support.
When I was last working on drag/drop I ran this idea past Jeremy as a possible fix. From my notes, at the time Jeremy thought that perhaps the best way to do it was to make this "fix" a plug-in that IE users who needed it would install so as to not impact everyone else. That still doesn't solve either of the issues above but at least it makes it not mandatory for everyone. It is a shame that IE is so broken here and a surprise since IE was the first browser to even have drag/drop all the way back to IE 5. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWikiDev" group.
