drag-and-drop for folder and files

Post by alskor »

Sometimes when I create a new mail using Microsoft Outlook, I need to attach some files, which I just edited in FAR. I'd like to drag the files right from FAR window and drop them to Outlook mail. Is there a way to implement this enhancement in FAR?

Try Drag-n-Drop plugin, I haven't tried it so don't know if it works.

just FYI: there is no need to write "you" with capital letter in English.

thanks! this is a great link. Conemu solves one of big FAR annoyances - it lets you resize FAR window with mouse.

You might want to try using Alt+Shift+Ins to copy the full file name with path to clipboard, and then paste it into any edit box that accepts a file path, including the one in “Open file” dialogs. This is way faster than drag&drop especially if you don’t have both windows visible at the same time.

Actually, neither there is in Russian.

This is not exactly true. But please refrain from further linguistic flame and discussion here.
