[Rumpus-talk] Drag & Drop Uploads

[Lennie Hodgkins]

Hi John,
    I noticed that Chrome for the Mac & PC also support native drag & drop, has this been tested with the new WFM templates??

Hi all,
  
  One of the features planned for Rumpus 7 is improved drag & drop file  
  uploads in modern browsers.  I started working on this feature this  
  morning.
  
  It turns out, FireFox 3.6 already supports a mechanism for doing this,  
  and I was able to make it work in Rumpus with only an addition to one  
  WFM template file.  No change to the Rumpus server is even necessary.
  
  It's pretty cool... If you are running FireFox 3.6, you can just drag  
  a file (or multiple files) into a Rumpus file listing, and up they  
  go.  No need even to click "Upload Files".  No java applet.  No  
  security warning.
  
  The patch to the template file is easy to apply, and is described here:
  
     http://www.maxum.com/Rumpus/DnDinFF.html
  
  That page isn't linked, and is intended only for those on this list.   
  If you try it, please report back on how it works for you.
  
  The new feature doesn't support folder uploads, and other drag & drop  
  features (like downloading) are still being investigated.  I'll be  
  working more on this, and will post if/when improvements can be made  
  via simple changes in Rumpus 6.2.
  
  Have fun!
  
  John
