<div dir="ltr">a little update! it seems that I do have a response from PD when I drag the file on top of the window,and the mouse touches the window limits, (not the white part of the "canvas").

that's not what i meant, as this is not a valid cmdline (it enables<br>
verbose mode and attempts to load a file "4 all" (which most likely does<br>
not exist).<br>
<br>
what i meant is, start Pd with "-verbose", and then -in the Pd-console-<br>
set the "Log-Level" to "4 all".<br>
but anyhow....<br>

...this looks good.<br>
unfortunately the plugin tries to load the binary after printing out<br>
that information, so if anything goes wrong while loading the binary,<br>
you will still see this message.<br>
that probably should be fixed.<br>

<br>
would you mind pasting the *entire* Pd-console.<br>
it's hard to tell whether your filter for "only relevant" matches mine :-)<br>
<br>
to reduce the noise in the output make sure to only open the<br>
/home/jrsv/Documents/Pd/externals/dnd-plugin/dnd-plugin-help.pd (and no<br>
other patches).<br>
<br>
than drag something onto the patch and tell use what you get - in the<br>
patch, the Pd-console and the terminal.<br>
