Allow dropping a file in the chat view to upload it (#495)
Unknown opened 5 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The client supports file upload, but it's tedious to have to browse from your home directory to it when you actually already have it at hand in your finder. It would be great if I could just drag and drop it onto the chat to upload it.

Describe the solution you'd like When dragging a file onto the chat view, provide user feedback that the chat column is a drop target and when dropping the file, upload it. It could probably be refined so that dropping the file on a MUC or Contact in the sidebar uploads there instead of the currently selected chat session.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Pasting from clipboard would upload the file instead of pasting the filename
  • Keeping browsing by hand. Really annoying

Additional context N/A

Dropping a file on the text field where you write a message within a chat is supported for a while now and works well.

Oh alright, I didn't realise that since clients generally allow dropping anywhere on the view, I didn't even try it. Works for me. If you think making it clearer or larger is not a priority, feel free to close the issue.

I've made a drop indicator more visible if you drag a file on the message input field.
