Build M5

I've found that I can't drag files from the Navigator or Packages view into a 
Lotus Notes e-mail. I can drag the file onto the WinXP desktop and then onto 
Notes, but not directly into Notes.

When I try to drag it onto Notes, it looks like a dialog appears, but then 
disappears very quickly.

When I drag a file to a Notes "new memo" I get the no-drop icon. I can't drop 
the file and therefore don't see any dialog flashing up.
I went back to R2.0 and observed the same behavior.
The Navigator adds the FileTransfer type and DROP_COPY/DROP_MOVE. Windows 
Explorer apparently is using something else since drag to Notes works from 
Windows. Also tried TextTransfer and RTFTransfer and still get the no-drop icon.

Veronika, is there a tool that displays details about a drag operation? I'd 
like to find out what Windows is doing to make the drop work.

This is a duplicate of bug 6726 and is an SWT problem.

The problem is that on unicode windows platforms SWT supports CF_UNICODETEXT 
rather than CF_TEXT.  Most applications support CF_UNICODETEXT but Lotus Notes 
does not.  The Clipboard will automatically convert from CF_UNICODETEXT to 
CF_TEXT but DND does not.

The fix would be to add CF_TEXT as a secondary data type for the TextTransfer 
type.

The Navigator does not currently use TextTransfer. Reopening to add this once 
bug 6726 is fixed.

Reassigning to Nick since he is taking ownership of DND.

The original DND concern is fixed with Notes 6.0.2.
Dragging files from the Navigator/Package Explorer into Notes works now.

Reassigning bugs in component areas that are changing ownership.

This works for 3.2M6 and Notes6.
