Sorry, wrong component. As this is an effect on all Apps, it's framework.

I've corrected this.

Hi abdul,

thanks for using and supporting OpenOffice.org...

I tried this on SuSE Linux 9.1 on KDE 3.2.
As seen on Windows I dragged the document out of Konqueror to the title bar of
the Office window and the document was opened...

Hi abdul,

since you don't respond I assume this works for you, too...

I'm going to close this issue now.
Comment 4 abdul 2004-12-20 04:23:08 UTC

Comment 5 mci 2004-12-22 11:01:09 UTC 
Hi abdul,

hmmm, this works on KDE but not on Gnome using OOo1.9m66...

By the way: Acroread doesn't open pdfs on this way, too...

This seems to be a problem of integrating non-Gnome-Applications into Gnome...

I didn't try more applications...

reassigned to pl

mci -> pl: 
Hi pl,
please have a little look at this issue, 
I'm not sure if we 're responsible for this behaviour...
Thanks...

dropping to the titlebar does not usually work. This is the same for other gnome
applications (e.g. gedit, too).

please not that dropping into the document window "works", although that usually
will insert a link.

What I could imagine is that a drop on an empty area (like e.g. tool or menubar)
could lead to the desired open action.

@cd: what do you think ?
