I did just that, but how can i actually use the plugin once i've launched Pd? I created a canvas in a new patch and tried dragging a pd file from my tesktop onto it, but nothing happened.

All you need to do is put it into the %CommonProgramFiles%\Pd folder, the actual name of the folder that CommonProgramFiles points to can vary depending on the language of your system. Here's more info:.hcOn Sep 19, 2011, at 2:41 PM, Pierre Massat wrote:I've put the plugin in the Common Files/Pd folder, and added a reference to it in Path..., but it won't work.

I updated the plugin to also work on canvases. Drop a Pd file onto the canvas, and it'll make an object using that.

Patko and I just got TkDND working on Windows and included Pd-extended
0.43. That means tomorrows nightly build should have it included, and
its ready for scripting with. TkDND allows Pd to handle drag-n-drop
events, so you can do things like drop a file onto the Pd window to open
it (implemented in the attached plugin) or drop a pd patch onto a canvas
to make an object (also kind of implemented in the plugin).
There are lots of interesting ideas possible, I'm hoping you will play
with it and see what kinds of stuff we can do. I forgot who originally
implemented the TkDND stuff for Pd, but this is based on that work, so
thanks for that.
