Hello,
I found a bug of Drag-de-Go 0.2.5

In gestures.js, Line 474:

Code: Select all

set value(aValue) {
   if(this.ref){
      if(this.ref.mTextbox){
         this.ref.mTextbox.value = aValue;
         var evt = document.createEvent("Events");
         evt.initEvent("oninput", true, true);
         this.ref.dispatchEvent(evt);
      }else{
         this.ref.value = aValue;
      }
   }
}

I think it should change to:

Code: Select all

set value(aValue) {
   if(this.ref){
      if(this.ref.mTextbox){
         this.ref.mTextbox.value = aValue;
      }else{
         this.ref.value = aValue;
      }
      var evt = document.createEvent("Events");
      evt.initEvent("oninput", true, true);
      this.ref.dispatchEvent(evt);
   }
}


I found that because I use Drag-de-Go and SearchWP.
When I use Drage-de-Go's "Copy Text to Search Box" feature,
I notice SearchWP does not show the terms that Drag-de-Go copy into the search box.

Please check that.
Thanks!

confirmed here as well.

Also, about 25% of the time when I drag and drop a link it performs a 'Search in a new background tab.' I have my settings to open dropped links in a background tab regardless of direction.

I'm using Firefox 2.0. I don't recall experiencing this problem with the prior Firefox 1.5.0.7.

Bug: throwing a link searches if text selected

Post by earth2marsh »

To produce:
1. Select text anywhere on a page.
2. "throw" any link (that isn't in the selection is best)

Drag de Go will:
Open a new tab with a search of the selected text even though it wasn't "thrown"

DdG should open a new tab of the selected link.

So glad to have a worthy successor to Super Drag and Go, thank you!

enhancement: drag copies address to clipboard

Post by m) »

it would be nice if we had this option. If not to the clipboard, to the location bar because it can be easily copied.

Thanks

Here is a bug I came across: Highlight some text on a page. Next, drag and drop a link on the same page. The drag and drop action will be done to the highlighted text, not the link. Is this fixable?

First of all, thanks for the great extension. I use alot of drag and drop features with my old browser (Maxthon) and this helps bridge the gap in functionality coming over to Firefox.

One bit of functionality that is missing from my previous experience is this: when dragging several url files from a folder onto the browser, Firefox only opens the first one. The preferred way to handle multiple URLs (from url files or hard-return-seperated ones in a block of text) would be to open each in a new tab.

Could that functionality be added into this extension? It seems to fit well with the other dragging-related functions.

hi
I had found a bug.
First, my English is poor maybe I can't expresse it accurately. Sorry!

I have deleted the search engine when Firefox running, and then I restart Firefox.Open the drag de go option, search the drag text in background tab,and then choose search engine,But is nothing in the search engine list window(it's empty), AND I haven't delete ALL the search engine.

@drag de go 0.2.5, Firefox 1.5.0.8

Thanks!

You'd think the subject field would appear, eh? Because it doesn't, my last message is meaningless (dec 8th).

1. It would be nice if one of the options of dragging is to copy the link address to the clipboard.
2. It would be nice if one of the gesture options is to open in an external browser (that is, in addition to the context menu)

Fantastic extension.

excellent extension! however:

- how about compatibility with tb? especially, wouldn't it be great to be able to open links from mails or feeds with ff either coming to the front or staying in the bg and to search any text with the same engines as in ff?
