Re: [Evolution-hackers] EPlugin event for Drag-n-Drop?

[Not Zed <notzed ximian com>]

Hmm, it would probably need a new hook type for drag and drop hooks.

eplugin events are really only for one-way notification, although perhaps it could be tweaked a little bit to provide a cascading processing train.  But the way dnd works you first have to register the type's you're going to receive, on the specific widget, so you can't really run that from an event processor anyway.

It wouldn't be a huge amount of work, but it wouldn't be trivial either, a day or two of coding I'd guess.
