Either QB64pe enhancement or IDGI

I want to take to the next level.

Let the fun begin....

I also want the next level. Support on Linux. LOL see if that's easy. Might be only for GNOME and anything based on it(*). Nope, XFCE isn't one of them, and KDE is a different beast. LXQt isn't enough like KDE although they share many components, and whoever insists on LXDE is out of luck anyway. Those are the most popular desktop environments.

(*) MATE (forked from GNOME remembered from the first versions of Ubuntu), Cinnamon (forked from the "new" GNOME, by Linux Mint team), Budgie (created by Solus Project developers), Pantheon (by elementary OS team). There might be others. They might have the window manager "mutter" in common, although for Cinnamon it's called "muffin". MATE uses the "old" one now called "marco", probably before "mutter" even existed. "MATE" is pronounced like in Spanish with short vowels, not like the word for "partner". To add to the confusion, Debian offers "GNOME Flashback" which is the old GNOME that was offered in the first versions of Ubuntu, before it was transformed into MATE.



The main difference with MATE is that it allows one of those two panels removed and configured extensively. How the menus appear could also be changed although it's not recommended to beginners.

Yeah but supporting dragon drop brings more headaches the user has to be aware of, which won't be the fault of the programmer. On Thunar must drag into the heading of the file list. If not it might not complete the request, or if the user is hovering over a ZIP file when he/she lets go then it's going to think he/she wants to add to that ZIP file. Of course if it's RAR then it will fail, since WinRAR is the only program allowed to create RAR. PCManFM, the file manager for LXQt is even more pensive about this, must choose "compact" view (no headings nor information other than filenames) and find a blank space in the window to drag files into.

There's more. Dolphin on KDE and GNOME Files are the opposites with working with tabs in a single window of the file manager. With GNOME Files the user has to wait until it cares to change the view to the destination tab, when he/she wants to drag files into the destination. Otherwise he/she would be annoyed by the context menu Dolphin gives out: "Copy, Move, Cancel". "Just do it man!" But what if he/she didn't want to move and it does so accidentally? Anyway while dragging hold [SHIFT] to move and [CTRL] to copy.

I'm sorry for the lost post but it looks like the dragon drop support on QB64 might remain Windows only for a long while.
