[Spice-devel] Drag-n-drop for directories

[Carlos González]

I see...

So out of the impractical difficulties it would imply, drag-and-dropping
directories and files in general from guest to host has never been for
consideration...

Ouch, pity... Guess VirtualBox is still a technology with less limitations,
for it does support the above with no problems. This would actually be an
excellent addition for RedHat customers as well, since despite already
existing the folder sharing method, dragging would make life even slightly
easier.
I don't rely on folder sharing neither in Spice nor VirtualBox -though I
have tested them-; at most what I've had to do is compressing the whole
directory to make it a single file, then dragging it to guest.

For large contents I have even preferred USB stick passthrough...
