Is it possible to drag an image from a browse or the OS desktop into RR?

Yep: check out the dictionary, filtering with "drag" to bring all the drag-related tokens up.

To see how they all fit together in context, Eric Chatonet has put together a wonderful tutorial on Rev's drag-and-drop abilities, including a working example of dragging to and from the desktop:

Thanks. I found that and looked at it briefly but wasn't able to quickly get the examples to accept an image/graphic from outside of rev and I thought I read something about the data types supported and image/graphic wasn't one of them (as it pertains to drag-and-drop from outside of Rev). Maybe that's a bit over my head currently. But, my first concern is making sure that it CAN be done. Then, I'll figure out how to do it later.

Hi Bill,

I have a stack on RevOnline that shows one way to handle drag and drop TO rev:
User: klausimausi
Stack Drag and drop Lite.

Hint:
If QuickTime is installed you can also use a player object (set its "alwaysvbuffer" to true then) to display ALL the image formats that QT support like: TIFF, PSD etc.!

Thanks Klaus. I'll give this a close look when I switch back to develop mode (currently in UI design mode).

Best,

Bill
