Notes from XDND round-table at XDevConf 2005:
- ordering of types
* - Not specified, but qt implements it - would be good if everyone supported it. higher priority are chosen first. This fixes dropping content onto file browser (gedit->konqi, etc)
- text encodings - apps do educated guess?
* - Defined UTF-8 as encoding for text content?
* - Ability to provide other encodings too? - Backwards compat issue - Put charset/encoding into the mimetype? (text/html:utf-8)
- Mini spec (registry) of how to do various encodings needs to be created
- suggested filenames
* - (using zip/tar? .. text/html@zip) - performance with tar/zip?
* - OASIS? - needs experiments - remote X server could be slow, but worth the effort?
- applying to uri-list drag
* - problem of remote clients ([[file:/|file:/]] not valid on the other host) - hostname not implemented well
* - applying uri-list with second target of content is not implemented anywhere but a possible solution (the ROX applications support this for single-file drags using application/octet-stream, but you have to turn off "Don't use hostnames" in the Compatibility box, which breaks some other applications) - alternative having a second response saying "give me the content" - uuid to make hostname issue easier to deal with
- kio copying uri list - how to know who owns
* - Qt problem - doesn't expose ability to say "I'm done, do your delete" - basically a UI problem during long operations - XDS is a solution?
