Jurtle's class list supports several types of incoming Drag and Drop operations. There are two groups of these, distinguished by where the drag originates:
Dragging from the operating system's file browser
- If you drag a Java source file from a file browser and drop it onto the class list, you will be asked if you want to copy the file to the currently loaded directory (same as the Import function), or simply select the file in its current directory.
- If you drag a directory from a file browser and drop it onto the class list, you will be asked if you want to copy the directory and its contents into the currently loaded directory, or load the directory making it the current directory.
Dragging from a web browser
- If you click in a web browser window and drag a link to a Java source file or image file and drop it on the class list, the linked file will be downloaded to your current directory. This is very useful for downloading andf trying out small Java programs you find on the web.
- If you click in a web browser and drag a link to a web page (either by dragging the icon to the left of the current browser URL, or by dragging a link to another web page), Jurtle will scan that web page and construct a list of all source files, image files, zip files and jar files that have links to them. It will then ask you which files you want downloaded to the current directory. This is useful, particularly when working with Lessons or Tutorials, for downloading all programming files on a web page to the current directory.
Note: This Drag and Drop feature doesn't work under Linux. Linux users will need to download the source code to your directory using the browser's commands.
