Hi all,
I tried to implement a "Drag-File" Action (so a user can drag the current 
File from the Main-Toolbar to a different application or just save it 
somewhere) and came across some "Look And Feel" issues.
Please tell me your thoughts about this.

I)  Easy Solution: use the Document on Disk
II) Better Solution: use the current status of the Document. Problem: it 
needs to be saved, wat name to use,  when to delete it?
  a) Do a "Save" before the Drag: Maybe User doesn't expect this ( implicit 
action)
  b) Save it to a tmp-File: User closes first App: 
	- File gets deleted (what about second app?), or
	- File stays where it is -> maybe Garbage (especialy when dragged to Konqui)

Problem with I and II.a: 
When Konqui gets the DnD, "move" doesn't make sense and it must not be 
possible to move a file to the trash this way (like it currently is in 
khexedit)!

Hope someone has a good idea.

Klas
