Welp, works on Windows I guess but not for Linux. One major irritation about Linux is that many terminals are limited to a grand total of 255 figures for the command line. "xargs" could be used in some places, but not all.
I have to look into what is done by Purebasic because it might break down only to the two main GUI toolkits which are GTK and Qt. A lot of apps are still on GTK2, many of them are clunky and so many users don't like it. But GTK4, Qt5 and Qt6 require a lot of disk space although they don't seem to conflict with each other.
I don't think I could ever create an app that relies on dragon drop.
Not really off road. The main subject was Drag-n-Drop. Linux was never a windows wanna-be ever. It was a free GUI based on Unix O/S. Not knowing the limits and differences leads to all kinds of trouble. Many apps are almost the same between Apple IOS and Android. I know for a fact a good chunk of the code ports over with no change. It's the other bits that are hell. I know of a couple Android apps much better than Apple. And vice-a-versa. It all in taking advantage of O/S tools and work a rounds needed.
BTW, Dbox I already used both.
