[PD] drag and drop files in pd ?

[patko]

It just drag a file icon from explorer to pd patch and it create the box on the patch, nothing more.
I can't capture my windows screen, it's a boring mess, maybe on ubuntu in a few hours...

what's wrong with tkdnd? Did you merge pkgindex.tcl  content from tktdnd archive into /usr/local/lib/tk8.5 pkgIndex.tcl file?

mine looks like this:

if {[catch {package present Tcl 8.5.0-8.6}]} { return }
package ifneeded Tk 8.5.7	[list load [file join $dir .. .. bin tk85.dll] Tk]


package ifneeded tkdnd 2.2 \
  "source \{$dir/tkdnd.tcl\} ; \
   tkdnd::initialise \{$dir\} libtkdnd2.2[info sharedlibextension] tkdnd"

the doc also say that:

Unix: Dragging from Tk windows has not yet been implemented.
