dragon - simple drag-and-drop source/sink for X or Wayland Many programs, particularly web applications, expect files to be dragged into them now. If you don't habitually use a file manager that is a problem. dragon is a lightweight drag-and-drop source for X where you can run: dragon file.tar.gz to get a window with just that file in it, ready to be dragged where you need it. What if you need to drag into something? Using: dragon --target you get a window you can drag files and text into. Dropped items are printed to standard output. If you're only dealing with a single file, either source or sink, use the --and-exit option to terminate as soon as one drag-and-drop operation is complete. If you want to keep the files you drag in around for a while, use: dragon --target --keep and each file you drop becomes its own draggable button, which you can drag elsewhere later. Installing ---------- Just run `make` to compile dragon and get an executable you can run immediately or put where you like. To install, run `make install`, which will put it into ~/.local/bin by default. If you want a different destination, run `make PREFIX=/path/here install` instead. To choose a different executable name, run `make NAME=dragon-drop install`, which will generate the executable and man page to match the given name. dragon requires GTK+ 3 and is distributed under the GNU GPL version 3.
