Re: dragging images from web pages?

[Terry Judd]

Hi Malte – here's the remaining difficulty (which it appears was why I 
wasn't having much success in my earlier trials). In Safari (and others 
perhaps) If the image is also a link, the URL that gets passed is not 
the image URL but the link URL, in which case any DnD approach will 
fail. I guess it is possible to get the user to copy the image to the 
clipboard in this case and use a pasting routine to transfer it but it 
would have been nice to have a truly interoperable DnD solution.

Anyway, thanks again for all your efforts. It now seems a workable 
solution is probably achievable.

Cheers,
Terry...

Hi Terry,
I played with it and got a bit closer...
I´ve put the dragdata into a field...
Messagebox:
ask file ""
put fld "testdata" into url ("binfile:"&it)
import paint from file it
that does create a correctly sized image, but still not yet a proper 
version
(on 9. No time to check X yet).

Best,
Malte

Hi Terry,
Finished the tests under X and got it working there.
Tested for Netscape and Safari -> These drag links here. So I use the 
first
method posted earlier.

Internet Explorer -> drags binary image data. I use the 2nd method 
(posted
today) I can make a working stack available tomorrow if you are 
interested.

Why it doesn´t work under 9 I´d really like to know. No Idea for Win. 
I´ll
test it later.
