Drag and Drop

[efendioglukdz]

Hi friends,
Following example doesnt work anymore with newer eframe/egui >24. Does anybody has the same experience? Did something chaged with newer versions?

#![cfg_attr(not(debug_assertions), windows_subsystem = "windows")] // hide console window on Windows in release

use eframe::egui;

fn main() -> Result<(), eframe::Error> {
    
    let options = eframe::NativeOptions {
        viewport: egui::ViewportBuilder::default()
            .with_inner_size([640.0, 240.0]) // wide enough for the drag-drop overlay text
            .with_drag_and_drop(true),
        ..Default::default()
    };
    let _ = eframe::run_native(
        "Native file dialogs and drag-and-drop files",
        options,
        Box::new(|_cc| Box::<MyApp>::default()),
    );

    return true;
}

#[derive(Default)]
pub struct MyApp {
    dropped_files: Vec<egui::DroppedFile>,
    picked_path: Option<String>,
}

impl eframe::App for MyApp {
    fn update(&mut self, ctx: &egui::Context, _frame: &mut eframe::Frame) {
        egui::CentralPanel::default().show(ctx, |ui| {
            ui.label("Drag-and-drop files onto the window!");

            if ui.button("Open file…").clicked() {
                if let Some(path) = rfd::FileDialog::new().pick_file() {
                    self.picked_path = Some(path.display().to_string());
                }
            }

            if let Some(picked_path) = &self.picked_path {
                ui.horizontal(|ui| {
                    ui.label("Picked file:");
                    ui.monospace(picked_path);
                });
            }

            // Show dropped files (if any):
            if !self.dropped_files.is_empty() {

                    for file in &self.dropped_files {
                        let mut info = if let Some(path) = &file.path {
                            path.display().to_string()
                        } else if !file.name.is_empty() {
                            file.name.clone()
                        } else {
                            "???".to_owned()
                        };

                        let mut additional_info = vec![];
                        if !file.mime.is_empty() {
                            additional_info.push(format!("type: {}", file.mime));
                        }
                        if let Some(bytes) = &file.bytes {
                            additional_info.push(format!("{} bytes", bytes.len()));
                        }
                        if !additional_info.is_empty() {
                            info += &format!(" ({})", additional_info.join(", "));
                        }

                        ui.label(info);
                    }
                });
            }
        });

        preview_files_being_dropped(ctx);

        // Collect dropped files:
        ctx.input(|i| {
            if !i.raw.dropped_files.is_empty() {
                self.dropped_files = i.raw.dropped_files.clone();
            }
        });
    }
}

// Preview hovering files:
fn preview_files_being_dropped(ctx: &egui::Context) {
    use egui::*;
    use std::fmt::Write as _;

    if !ctx.input(|i| i.raw.hovered_files.is_empty()) {
        let text = ctx.input(|i| {
            let mut text = "Dropping files:\n".to_owned();
            for file in &i.raw.hovered_files {
                if let Some(path) = &file.path {
                    write!(text, "\n{}", path.display()).ok();
                } else if !file.mime.is_empty() {
                    write!(text, "\n{}", file.mime).ok();
                } else {
                    text += "\n???";
                }
            }
            text
        });

        let painter =
            ctx.layer_painter(LayerId::new(Order::Foreground, Id::new("file_drop_target")));

        let screen_rect = ctx.screen_rect();
        painter.rect_filled(screen_rect, 0.0, Color32::from_black_alpha(192));
        painter.text(
            screen_rect.center(),
            Align2::CENTER_CENTER,
            text,
            TextStyle::Heading.resolve(&ctx.style()),
            Color32::WHITE,
        );
    }
}

My dependency regarding egui stuff is as following:

eframe = { version = "0.26.2",default-features = true, features = ["default_fonts","persistence","glow"]}
egui = { version = "0.26.2", features = ["persistence", "serde"]}
egui_extras = { version = "0.26.2", features = ["all_loaders"] }

Can confirm it doesn't work for me on Linux, with either Wayland or X11, but it works fine on Windows (wine).

Edit: upon further investigation, seems the problem is with winit simply not supporting drag-and-drop under Wayland. rust-windowing/winit#1881

It doesnt work for me on native windows 10

Not working under Wayland Ubuntu 24.04.
