first excuse me for my bad english.
I'd like to "drag 'n drop" a file from my shared directory in a office network on gmail
but nothing appened!!

my system is Kubuntu 12.04 and the browser is firefox!

thanks

could be one of those things that only works using the Chrome browser, I tried and failed with FF and Opera but it did work in Chrome

Testing various browsers it works in Chromium and FF but not in Opera nor Rekonq, per 2010 blogs it only worked at that time with Chrome and FF and requires HTML5 drag and drop to work

no: I don't be able to attach in chromium..
this is the video wehre you can see what appens.
with the dran n'drop it doesen't work
the same with the form: it attach only the link to the directory not the content

thank you

sorry I can only tell you it works for me, no idea when it started working as it's not something I tried previously

running KDE 4.9.1 and Chromium 23.0

retested FF and it did work

chromium 23...
but it still doesen't work

if I mount the directory
sudo mount -t smbfs //192.168.--.--/file_share/SCAN /mnt/personal
it works1

why not in visual mode??

thanks

sorry missed the part that it was a smbfs share, I don't have one to test with. might be smbfs related, does it work ok with a locally mounted drive?

I'm confused by your last post, what do you mean by "if I mount the directory sudo mount -t smbfs //192.168.--.--/file_share/SCAN /mnt/personal it works1"? you mean you can drag and drop? if so then what do you mean by "visual mode"?

---- what do you mean by "if I mount the directory sudo mount -t smbfs //192.168.--.--/file_share/SCAN /mnt/personal it works1"?
this is the commad to mount the "remote" directory in a local directory

--- you mean you can drag and drop?
and so I can drag and drop the files to gmail (from local to gmail > works)

--- if so then what do you mean by "visual mode"?
visual mode is what you see in the video above-mentioned.
when I see the directory in Dolphin it has an icon as a blue heart

and I can't navigate in it and take the files.

(I hope you may understend my atroucious english)

can you try and drag from a local partition instead of from a smbfs share, something from /etc or /usr/bin. I wonder if the fact that the file your dragging is not local is why it is not working for you.

Your English is fine

excuse me for my delayed post: I was without internet connection in these days..
I try with a file in /etc and it works fine.
second step I navigate in dolphin in the directory shared with samba and i open a file... this works ok..
third step I open gmail and I tray to attach same file and it doesen't work! I'm

thanks

I solved with a normal mount in /etc/fstab
//fs._my_network/my-directory /mnt/my-directory cifs credentials=/home/dino/smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,uid=name,gid=users,file_mode=0770,dir_mode=0770 0 0

where my smbcredentials is a file in /home with name and pwd!

hallo!

It would seem that Chrome/Firefox don't support anything but local files for drag and drop (and unlike the opening of regular files, drag+drop involves just passing around the path to the file, so it is not possible to workaround this).
