Mneumosyne update broke image drag and drop functionality

[Faisal D.]

Hi guys!
I recently updated Mneumosyne from v.2.6 to v.2.7.1 and now I am no longer able to drag and drop images from mnemosyne into editing programs. Can I safely go back to v.2.6?
Thanks
Faisal

I think it should be fine, but I'll try to see why drag and drop no longer works. (To be honest, this is not something I explicitly implemented, I wasn't even aware you could do this).

I’ve just checked this on Windows 10, and there it still works without problems.

 

Which OS are you on?

 

Cheers,

Hi peter,

Thanks for your reply. I am on windows 10 as well. If I drag and drop an image onto desktop, it creates a copy of the file; I think earlier it used to move the file instead. However, if I were to drop the image onto an image editing program such as adobe fireworks, it does nothing.

While unintentional, this was a very useful feature and I would really appreciate if you could bring it back.

Thanks,

Faisal

I doubt it ever moved the image file :-) I can drag it to Word, and it works just fine. Again, there is nothing I specifically did in this area. Perhaps the issue is with your image processing program?

Cheers,

Hi Peter,

I disabled all modifications and extensions from the image editing application, however the problem is still present.

While dragging, can you see a small arrow next to the cursor? If I recall correctly, this along with "Save image, Copy image, Copy image address" context menus were not present in version 2.6. Could the problem have something to do with these modifications?

Thanks,

Faisal

Hi Peter,

Here are a few other things I tried:
- I switched to version 2.6.1 - No context menu but same problem.
- I switched to version 2.6 - This solved my problem.

> I doubt it ever moved the image file

Just verified it on v2.6. Dragging and dropping an image file onto desktop removes it from the source (_media) directory.

Also, the tiny arrow has something to do with all this, as on v2.6, I see a plus sign [+] instead of an arrow [->], while dragging the file into the image editing software. Though I can still see the arrow when dragging onto desktop.

Thanks,

Faisal

Hi,

 

I’m afraid this is entirely beyond my control, as it is handled by the GUI library we use (PyQt5). 2.6 used an earlier version of this library, and the behaviour has probably changed since then.

 

In any case, behaviour where dragging would move the image file from its original location would be unacceptable for me, as this would give people a way to break their cards unintentionally…

 

Sorry…

 

Peter

I guess I will have to stay with v2.6.

> as this would give people a way to break their cards unintentionally…

I can understand. If however, a way is found, would you be willing to add this under options so that users can decide for themselves?

Thanks,

Faisal

Hi,

 

Again, there’s no possibility to even add this as an option, since this is handled by the Qt library and entirely beyond my control…

 

We also need to stick to the latest Qt version, as they have e.g. important bug fixes related to high-density displays.

Hi Peter,

I understand. Thank you for making this wonderful software and maintaining it.

Best regards,
