[SOLVED] Drag.Paste("text/uri-list") problem.

[BruceSteers]

It is now fixed in gambas master...

Well for the FromURL() function.
I'm not at home to test if it also fixed it for Drag.Paste() but if it uses FromURL() then it will be.

Thank you Benoit

After examining Drag.class and gb.gui.base source files I can say it is not currently fixed for Drag.paste()

I've suggested a fix to Benoit.
I'm sure it will soon be squashed

...but if it uses FromURL() then...

Currently, by using "FromUrl()" function:

ListBox1.Add(Scan(FromUrl(Drag.Paste()), "*//*\r*")[1])

> Benoit has accepted this is a bug and has a plan to fix it by making FromURL() and Drag.Paste() only translate + to a space after a '?' Char in a URL.

I compiled the latest Gambas.
And the problem was solved.

Thank you everyone.

You're welcome

after fixing the interpreters FromURL() function Benoit then modified the Drag.Paste() uri-list function to use FromURL() and removed the code from gb.gui.base it used to use that was essentially the same as FromURL() anyway.

So both FromURL() and Drag.Paste() are fixed and gb.gui.base got a little lighter

Just a note....
When something like this happens and a bug gets fixed remember it's only fixed in the latest gambas master.

If you need backward compatibility (if your software is public for others to use they may not have latest gambas) you'll still need a workaround like some of the ideas we provided.

If you know your software is only going to be used on machines that will have latest gambas then it's fine and that bug will never occur again.
