Capture glyph cells on drag and drop

[bahman]

Let's say there is a window and I drag some selected glyphs from a font window to that window. Is it possible to capture the name of those glyphs or the font?

Thank you so much ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)!

hello @bahman,

I gave it a try – this seems to work:

from vanilla import Window, List
from AppKit import NSDragOperationCopy
from lib.settings import doodleSelectedGlyphIndexesPboardType

class TestWindow:

    def __init__(self):
        self.w = Window((400, 200), 'test')
        self.w.list = List((10, 10, -10, -10),
                [],
                selfApplicationDropSettings=dict(type=doodleSelectedGlyphIndexesPboardType,
                        allowDropOnRow=True,
                        allowDropBetweenRows=True,
                        operation=NSDragOperationCopy,
                        callback=self.selfApplicationDropCallback))
        self.w.open()

    def selfApplicationDropCallback(self, sender, dropInfo):
        isProposal = dropInfo["isProposal"]

        if not isProposal:
            glyphs = dropInfo["data"]
            source = dropInfo["source"]
            glyphNames = [source[glyphIndex].name for glyphIndex in glyphs]
            self.w.list.set(glyphNames)

        return True

TestWindow()

but using stuff from the lib is not recommended… maybe @frederik knows a better solution.

cheers!
