Changes to Show Desktop

Changes to Show Desktop:

Show Desktop needs drag and drop support.

I want to show desktop, then cut a file into nautilus by draging the file over the nautilus hiding in the corner.

Other applications could also benefit. When an html file is draged onto Opera Web Browser, Opera should open the file. Draging media files into a player, it should start playing.

Thank you for all your hard work. if you have any questions, feel free to contact me at dchang<at>imsa.edu

Drag and drop is now supported in scale so it should be pretty straight forward to implement it in showdesktop.

It is not really implémented the way you are thinking but this way :
- you use a screen corner to start show desktop
- you drag the file you wanna move to the corner used to show desktop
- windows are coming back to screen
- you can drop your file to the window where you want ( or if it is not visible you choose it with scale while dragging your file )

This way it should really be quick to implement i guess

You are right on all counts :)

I have uploaded a new version of showdesktop that allows you to deactivate it with dnd on an edge.

Dragging onto the actual application would be very hard because if there are more than 4 apps open then they will overlap.
