Drag and drop for file uploads

[Czarek]

I've tested drag and drop file upload in cefclient using this example and it doesn't work. I guess Issue #601 is to implement this. Wondering if I could accomplish similar functionality using CefDragHandler::OnDragEnter with CefDragData::GetFileNames. There wouldn't be an indicator that file is being dragged onto region, it would only allow for dragging file onto whole web view. Two questions:

1. Does CefDragData::GetFileNames return real paths to files being dragged into the browser window?
2. With some bridge between c++<>js is it possible for it to work for file uploads?

What OS and CEF version? What specifically doesn't work? If you're testing in cefclient did you remove the check in ClientHandler::OnDragEnter? https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/ ... ler.cc-448

What OS and CEF version?

Ubuntu 14.04 and cef_3.2883.1506.ga6c42a7 (a month old).

What specifically doesn't work?

Dragging file onto the file upload region doesn't work. It works in Chrome. In cefclient/cefsimple when dragging file onto window, mouse cursor indicates that drag is not allowed.

If you're testing in cefclient did you remove the check in ClientHandler::OnDragEnter? https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/ ... ler.cc-448

I didn't remove this check in cefclient, however I've tested in cefsimple which doesn't have OnDragEnter, which means it should allow dragging by default. But it also doesn't work in cefsimple.

Tested latest 2883 on Windows and css-tricks example works OK. Tested both cefsimple and cefclient with OnDragEnter code commented out.

So looks like this is Linux only issue.

Thanks.

Btw. search on bitbucket is poor, if I search for drag drop it doesn't find anything. Looks like it can search only whole sentences.
