Drag and Drop File Import
Apr 5th, 2008, 9:22am  
Hi all,

I'm working on creating an application that can do some analysis and play audio files.  To do that, I need to import the audio files from within the GUI.  I'm open to the idea of using a file browser to import the object (which I don't know how to implement), but I'd rather be able to drag and drop the audio file onto the processing application and have it load.  I have no idea how to do that either.  

I'm not an experienced programmer, but I've been experimenting with processing for the past couple months and feel like there's enough out there for me to put together what I'm trying to do and have it work on multiple platforms.  

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks much.

for drag and drop events you can try sDrop. the examples DropBasics or DropOnTarget can guide you into a direction how to handle drop events. for now it has only been tested for osx, but should be fine for windows and linux as well.
dragging sound files onto your sketch only gives you the path to the sound file, you would then need to load the sample with the sound implementation you are using in your program.
hope this helps. best,
andi

Thanks a lot.  I didn't realize you had a drag and drop library.  I use the oscP5 library and the controlP5 library all the time.  Really wonderful stuff.  Thanks for your help.
