hi,
here's my personal hack to provide a windows PD with drag and drop features.
it's a modified .tcl script i from IOhannes (originally from here: https://github.com/pd-externals/gui-plugins/tree/master/dropsuite)
the script provides the following:
original script:
1.) opens a PD patch when dropped onto PD window 2.) creates a PD object when a .pd file is dropped upon a patch canvas
the modified part:
3.) sends the name of any dropped file (anything else than "*.pd") to a global receiver. with the extra information of a GOP size and position, a "drop field" can be defined (see subpatch "dropname").
the whole mechanism is, as i said, a hack and needs IEMGUTS loaded. also an extra tcl package called "tkdnd2.6" (included in attached .zip).
it's perfectly "working on my machine". the dnd readout is located inside [ol_dropfile]'s subpatch called [pd dropname].
i included all the files that are needed and where to put them. don't know if it's working on OSX and/or linux (untested there ...)
hope this helps
best
oliver

Drag & Drop would definitely be cool! I got something going with the old (deprecated) [toxy/tot] but it's very complicated like that.can you share?
So it would be possible with an external, huh? I thought that maybe, somehow, it could only be possible with a .tcl plugin, like posted here.
