Squeak-dev image: no MP3 drops to World accepted
Hi brad in squeak 7137 (basic not dev) Ive noticed that dropping projects on to the window sometimes will load the project and sometimes not. It seems very related to where I drop things.
So I dont think the problem is specific to MP3 files. It seems to me a mantis report is in order. Want to start one?
Yours in curiosity and service, --Jerome Peace

Hi Damien,
Running on my Linux (gentoo) system,
sq3.9-7067dev07.08.1 does not accept
mp3 drops to the World. The result is: nothing
happens. How come?
On the standard 3.9-7067 system, dropping an MP3
file on the World results
in a player to play the mp3 file.
I take that back. Sometimes it works sometimes it
doesn't. Don't know why
though.

BTW: not all MP3 files are accepted on the World as
a dropped file. Does
anyone know why? I haven't dug at all into it, so
I'm assuming it has to do
with the limitations of the mp3 decoder. Anyone
enlighten me?

I've noticed that dropping an mp3 file on a flap will do nothing - which I think is appropriate. Dropping an mp3 file on a system browser or some other system window or a rectangle, (maybe any object) will treat the file as if you dropped the file on the World. In other words, e.g., if you want to drop a GIF file into a rectangle, you have to drop it anywhere first (which will be on the World) and then drop it on the rectangle.
Now, I can't get it to fail. So, I might have been in wrong about that. If I see it fail, I'll try to duplicate and write up a defect.
thanks! brad
