Description Daniele E. Domenichelli 2011-12-09 13:06:56 UTC 
We should support drag and dropping a file in the text box to start a file transfer
Comment 1 David Edmundson 2011-12-09 13:54:06 UTC 
It should offer a choice of "send as as link" (i.e paste the URL) or "send as file". Otherwise it will behave oddly when dragging things from a web browser.
Comment 2 Martin Klapetek 2012-01-09 15:45:32 UTC 
Not done in time for 0.3, reassigning it to 0.4.
Comment 3 Elias Probst 2012-07-13 14:45:44 UTC 
It should not be only possible to drop to the text-input field, but also to the conversation view in text-ui.

When dropping it onto the conversation view:
→ Start the file transfer
When dropping it into the text input:
→ Ask:
  → Insert filepath
  → Send file to contact
Comment 4 Elias Probst 2012-07-13 14:46:52 UTC 
It looks like KMail dropped the menu asking whether to insert the path or to attach the file and just attaches a file to a mail.

Should KTP text-ui behave consistently at this point and simply do what KMail does?
Comment 5 Martin Klapetek 2012-07-13 14:52:50 UTC 
I think so. Also inserting a local file url seems useless imho as the other side can't open it anyway.
