Hi!

I have multi folder launcher (nautilus --browser /path/to/folder). What I would like is to: when I drag&drop file to that launcher, that it
would copy or move that file to folder? Is this any way posible?

Example: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3418457/file_d%26g_small.png but this just opens Desktop folder (where file is located) and folder (where I'm dropping file)

I appologize for my English mistakes!

Ps: I really love cairo-dock and I'm very thankful to the creators for this wonderful program!

Hello,

I think the best solution is to code a new applet. It's not so hard if you use DBus... => http://www.glx-dock.org/ww_page.php?p=Control_your_dock_with_DBus&lang=en

Or by adding an option when we drag a file on the launcher?

mattbe thank you so much for your answer. I created new applet and I add drag&drop copy function.

[SOLVED]

maybe the Folders applet should be able to handle drop like this ? it seems to me that this feature would fit this applet.

Bye the way can anyone tell me how to enable multi instance of my applet? So i could right click it and select add new instance, like other applets?

ah sorry, Dbus applets can't be multi-instanciated at the moment
you'll have to duplicate your applet with different names if you want to have it several times
as an alternative, you could pop-up a menu with the different disks when the drop occurs, I agree it's probably not the best solution though.
