Drag'n'Drop

Dragging files and directories from an Explorer window into a patch window should create an IOBox (String) with the relative Path to it. Some more magic could be achieved by holding some Key (alt or control) while dragging. I think about automatically creating a FileTexture node when an image file is dropped. etc.

That would be nice, as would drag and dropping to a renderer and having a message of the coords it was dropped and its file path for loading things in renderers…(as per a previous request ;-) )

you can drag’n’drop files onto string ioboxes… its just an additional double right click.

oh, didn’t know (and try) that.
but unfortunately the resulting path isn’t relative to the actual patch.

added valuable knowledge to IOBox (String) .

lets keep in mind:
ALT+F1 on a selected node opens the related page of the Node Reference.
doubleclick and add your knowledge.

amen
halleluya

but unfortunately the resulting path isn’t relative to the actual patch.

héhé, there is a workaround…
