Thank you for the responses and clarifications- most helpful. Observations
and comments in return are:
1) Drag-n-Drop: was aware of the typical 'shift+' option (for move) and
default drag option of copy; works AOK. However, the emelfm2 Usage notes
state:
"Drag and drop can be performed, by selecting the item(s) you want to
process, and then clicking the left or middle mouse button and dragging to
a location in either of the file lists. When you release the button, a menu
will prompt you for the operation you want to perform
(copy/move/link/cancel)...."
Taking the Usage notes at "face-value" leads one to believe that the stated
menu will appear WITHOUT any required key combo (alt+). This type of result
would be exactly like Konqueror does its object(s) drag-n-drop, with an
"automagically" appearing menu action selection list, after 'drop'.
Observations on the 'alt+' actions are:
- Works as stated; however
- drag action must be initiated BEFORE 'alt+' key combo; then menu
appears
- if not, 'alt+' combo results in whole window movement (as expected)
IMHO, this may be "functional" but not ergonomically efficient, and defeats
the spontaneous utility of drag-n-drop.
2) OpenOffice extensions: OOo for V2.0 is adopting the OpenDocument
extensions standard as follows. To allow prior versions accessibility to
these files V1.1.n product is being updated in V1.1.5 to be able to read
OpenDocument formatted files. Extensions are:
Master doc: odm
Writer: odt (ott)
Calc: ods (ots)
Impress: odp (otp)
Draw: odg (otg)
Formula: odf
Database: odb
HTML: html (oth)
note: (ot?) = template variant
Thanks again for your speedy responses and your continuing efforts on
emelfm2- a FM that I'm just really beginning (after +2 years use) to
appreciate the power of...
Regards,
