Can I drag file from tauri-app to another application?

[lomirus]

Hi, I am making an file manager and now I want to drag a video file from my app to Potplayer (or any other players). Is it possible? I only find the solution about dragging files from other apps to tauri-app, not the other way around.

Just found the solution. Seems I can simply write the path into dataTransfer:

<div id="drag_source" draggable="true">Drag Me</div>

const dragSource = document.querySelector('#drag_source')

dragSource.addEventListener("dragstart", function (event) {
    event.dataTransfer.setData("text", 'D:\\Videos\\abc.mp4');
});

hi，how to solve the problem of dragging to the desktop?

[lomirus]

I only tested my answer for dragging a video file to Potplayer (or some other similar apps). As for dragging to the desktop, I have no solution yet.

Hi, it seems that this plugin can only get the drop position, not the drop file path.
Does somebody have a workaround for this issue?
