When installed in the Notes 8 client sidebar, this plugin allows you to drag objects from various applications over to the sidebar. For example, you can drag Notes documents from a view, file attachments on Notes documents, files from the file system, URLs from a browser, and selected text from some applications. Here's a screenshot:
You can double-click entries in the sidebar table to see more information about them, right-click entries to copy them to the clipboard or delete them, and drag items off the sidebar app onto other applications that can act as a drop target (such as a Notes rich text field or a Word document).
Source code for this application can be found at com.snapps.dragndroptest_1.0.0.jar .
Known Issues
- In the Notes 8.5 client on the Mac, if you have multiple documents selected in a standard Notes view and you drag them over to the sidebar, only the first doc will be transferred over. This works properly on the 8.5 client on Windows though. Multiple selections in PIM views (like the mail template) work properly on both platforms.
- In the Notes 8.5 client on the Mac, HTML text dragged from a browser comes over as text, not HTML.
- I try to do a best-guess on whether text that's dragged over is a URL link or not. If a chunk of text that's dragged over happens to begin with a valid URL it will usually be flagged as a URL when it's copied. No big deal, but just so you know.
