SUMMARY *** You can drag and drop a thumbnail to another program (e.g. Paint, VLC, Blender, …). Some programs understand the generated URI from Digikam eg File:///my-dir/my-file. Some programs however (eg Blender) need a genuine Windows file path (c:\my-dir\my-file). Can a setting be provided to choose between a URI or a common Windows path? *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE Drag & drop a thumbnail into a program such as Microsoft Word or Blender Video Sequence Editor. OBSERVED RESULT A URI such as File:///my-dir/my-file EXPECTED RESULT A common windows path SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: Windows 11 macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
@husch Some works have been done before 8.0.0 to improve the clipboard contents while drag and drop under windows Can you check if this file still valid using last 8.0.0 release ? Gilles Caulier
Hi Gilles, I just installed version 8.0 but it seems that image-dropping still doesn't work in Windows 11 for some programs. As said, it is possible to drag-and-drop a picture from digikam into for example Paint or Gimp. But, dropping an image into for example Blender (Video Editor) or Microsoft PowerPoint seems to have no effect.
I suspect that some programs expect a full image in the mime data. When dragging a single file, we can also add the image, encoded in JPG. Maik
