Drag & Drop Files to Rectangle/nbSystemHelper
Quote from PaulJonestindall on December 3, 2021, 4:49 pmAnyone know of a plugin to drag and drop files from Explorer to a Rectangle object or similar? I've tried the nbSystemHelper plugin but the object it creates isn't actually inside of the Pub window. It won't work if my Pub window order is set "Always on top".

Quote from PaulJonestindall on December 3, 2021, 5:46 pmWow! I never knew or would have even thought of the TextEntry object. I'll have to think about this one.
The only issue I have with this is it's still a TextEntry object that could cause some unpredictable results if typed in.
If multiple files are dropped, the only place to parse the text entry variable would be in the Text Changed tab.Too problematic for what I need right now but I will definitely remember this feature.

What kind of objects? What I need is an object, like a rectangle, where I can drag one or more selected files from Explorer and in some form get the selected files path and name. FM\FTP works fine for this but the problem there is, to make a "drop zone" the created browser rectangle has to be visible which means it's also navigable. I just need a place to drop files and then be able to what I need to with them.
I need to ExtractFileName, ExtractFilePath, parse the name and determine the final copy destination.
nbSystemHelper gives me a perfectly usable TXT file but the interface doesn't work as I need.

Ok, so... this is apparently in Russian but, if I understand how it works correctly, it essentially turns the whole pub into a "drop zone".
I think this might work. Thanks.

There are only two commands, allow and deny file reset to the window.
