ripdrag's Introduction

What is ripdrag?

ripdrag is an application that lets you drag and drop files from and to the terminal.

It's designed to be feature to feature* compatible with dragon, while being written in modern Rust and GTK4.

Example.mp4

*some features like --on-top can't be ported over because of limitations in gtk4

Use cases

Many applications expect files to be dragged into them. Normally you would have to put your beloved terminal aside and open a file manager to that, but now you can just type ripdrag FILENAME and be done.

Used in combination with a fuzzy finder like fzf - e.g. ripdrag $(fzf) - can make for an amazingly quick and painless terminal experience.

ripdrag's Issues

suggestion: add option to disable opening images from ripdrag

Current behaviour is when you click an entry in the ripdrag window it will open the image, I think there should be an option to disable it (-n/--no-click for example) as:

I don't think the function of this utility should be an image opener, you have file managers for that (lf, ranger etc) or image viewers such as nsxiv.
If you are selecting selecting multiple items by CTRL clicking or SHIFT clicking it will open an image each time and that is just super annoying.

Use _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_UTILITY?

Most tiling window managers choose to tile or float windows based on their Freedesktop window type. Currently, ripdrag uses _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DESKTOP, which is presumably the default.

Would you consider changing to _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_UTILITY? This seems like a better fit, and would also make tiling WMs float the window by default, which seems more in line with the intended behavior.

_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_UTILITY indicates a small persistent utility window, such as a palette or toolbox. It is distinct from type TOOLBAR because it does not correspond to a toolbar torn off from the main application. It's distinct from type DIALOG because it isn't a transient dialog, the user will probably keep it open while they're working.

option to disable thumbnails

Nice piece of software, thanks a lot!

When running ripdrag *.jpg in a folder that contains plenty of jpegs, it seems to render the thumbnails synchronously, which slows down the startup of the program dramatically. Would it be possible to add an option to disable thumbnails alltogether?

Drag&drop doesnt work on sway

Hello. I switched to sway few weeks ago. Im in love with CLI-tools, that allow me to drag&drop from CLI, but im expiriencing troobles with that on Wayland. Drag window shows up, but i cant drop anything. Sometimes i can, sometimes - cant. Can u suggest some solution for me? Or, at least, tell me, how to debug it properly.

Also, your app gives me error:

(ripdrag:72048): Gdk-WARNING **: 13:40:05.111: Compositor doesn't support moving popups, relying on remapping

If this error is related to my bug - how can i enable moving popups? Is that even possible?

Demonstration:
https://github.com/nik012003/ripdrag/assets/23531195/d8e614ec-f707-4cdb-9d6f-4b493b3e0f98

1 file gets lost (?) when dragging & dropping to Telegram client.

I don't know if it's always been there or if it happens with other apps as well, but when I drag & drop files to Telegram (on wayland, haven't tested on xorg) one file is lost in the process, e.g. if there are 101 files in ripdrag, only 100 will get dropped to Telegram. And when I drop 1 file from ripdrag, Telegram doesn't register the drag&drop event at all. Other clients that I've tested seem to work just fine.
dragon also works as one would expect with Telegram, thought.

using `-r` still has a minimum height as specified by `-h`

If I specify the -r option, I can resize the window vertically and horizontally. There seems to be no minimum width, but there is a minimum height, under which I cannot get. I assume that is the standard height from -h?

This is on i3-gaps.

NetBSD package nearly ready

Hi,

I've just packaged ripdrag for NetBSD/pkgsrc.
The package is currently in the wip (work-in-progess) repo, since we have a branch freeze coming-up in a couple of days.

I will import the package into the main package repo once the freeze is over. Also, I want to look into why it's printing warnings about libEGL. The package is working as it should, though.

Here's the merge log, in case you're interested https://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-wip-changes/2022/09/16/msg024969.html

Can't drop file with `--target`

On Manjaro Linux with i3 and ripdrag v0.2.0, running ripdrag --target and dragging a file from a file manager (pcmanfm-qt) does nothing. After that, dragging more files (or strings) prints the following to the console:

(ripdrag:404510): Gtk-WARNING **: 12:31:07.362: (../gtk/gtk/gtkdroptarget.c:477):gtk_drop_target_handle_crossing: runtime check failed: (self->drop == NULL || self->drop == crossing->drop)

(ripdrag:404510): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 12:31:07.362: gtk_drop_target_handle_event: assertion 'self->drop == gdk_dnd_event_get_drop (event)' failed

Both of these messages are repeated many times. The former whenever I move the mouse over the popup, and the latter whenever I drop something onto it, possibly other times.

Before dropping the first file, nothing is printed and I am able to drop strings correctly. After dropping the first file, all dragging and dropping of files or strings fails in the above way.

--verbose does not seem to change the output.

WM_CLASS(STRING): Empty name and instance values

Usually, there is WM_CLASS property with name and instance, so i3 users could match the window.

I still can match ripdrag with title property:

for_window [title="ripdrag"] floating enable

However, these properties are there for a reason, and must be given a reasonable values

Thank you, really liked ripdrag

How to make this to take minimum size of the window?

RipDrag	Dragon Drop

How can I make RipDrag to take the minimum width and height like dragon-drop?

TODO: update gtk dep to >0.8

Starting from version 0.7, the gtk crate has revamped the communication channels model and some ListStore stuff, so currently ripdrag failes to compile with newer versions of the crate.

Milestone for v0.5

Using an MacOS and Chrome (Gmail) doesn't attach the file

Hi there,

This project is really what I needed on my Mac, and I was super excited about it, and I installed it immediately.

Tried to test it to attach a file in browser's Gmail (using Chrome), and when I drag the file, it basically pastes the path to the file, instead of attaching it to the email.

If I do the same using Finder (MacOS's file manager), it properly attaches the file.

I was wondering if this is something that is a known issue/can be fixed.

Thank you

Doesn't work on macos

Installed:

ripdrag via cargo
gtk4 via brew
rustup from official website and initialized

Command:

ripdrag {{items}}

Items show up in the interface but when dragging to slack or whatsapp, nothing happens

In whatsapp, it says:

The document you tried adding has no content

doesnt keep the file order

when I drag and drop multiple files fron ripdrag to obsidian it doens't keep the order of the files I selected.
please fix this

Questions. Newbie, tho...

I so wanna get involved in OSS - is main.rs the entire ripdrag program? Its useful, but I normally go the OTHER way - I want to drag INTO the folder...

Thanks for creating, what other features do YOU want to add/work on?

suggestion: remove the --all option and instead add a button

Instead of having a separate option and having to wonder whether you want to drag all the files at once or just one by one, there should just be a button/header/icon/label "Drag All"/whatever in the ripdrag window that is always there with which you can decide whether you want to drag all or individually once you've already spawned it.

Great tool nonetheless, I can now finally throw away my GUI file manager for good.

Arch Linux AUR package

I submitted ripdrag as an AUR package and plan on maintaining it in the future.

If anybody has recommendations on how to improve the PKGBUILD please notify me! :)

edit: changed to new url

Build instructions using Docker

To get a binary built in your current workdir:

$ docker run --rm -it -v "$(pwd):/workspace" rust:1.71.0-bookworm  # >= bookworm required to have gtk4 available in Ubuntu repos
$ git clone https://github.com/nik012003/ripdrag.git
$ cd ripdrag
$ apt update && apt install cargo libgtk-4-dev build-essential
$ cargo build
$ cp target/debug/ripdrag /workspace/

`--target` doesn't work, gives `gdk_drop_set_actions: assertion 'priv->state == GDK_DROP_STATE_NONE' failed` error

❯ ripdrag --version
ripdrag 0.3.2

After trying to drag an image or an URL with --target, this error is printed and nothing happens:

❯ ripdrag --target
(ripdrag:3732518): Gdk-CRITICAL **: 08:20:24.687: gdk_drop_set_actions: assertion 'priv->state == GDK_DROP_STATE_NONE' failed

ripdrag "$file" works fine. Note that dragon --target works fine too.

Problem with popup window on DWM

Moved from dragon to ripdrag when I open ripdrag file.txt a full window opens not a popup window like it does in dragon?

Can't use with `mpv`

Hello there. Hope you're doing well. Thank you for creating this modern version of dragon!

Description

I tried to use ripdrag to drag subtitle to mpv, but it'd kill mpv and the ripdrag's window would stay remain. The same workflow works with dragon.

Thank you in advance!

Add tags for version releases

Adding git tags like v0.2.0 when a new version is cut in Cargo.toml would make it possible for package maintainers from various linux distros to get involved more easily and package ripdrag

Make window appear on mouse location

Simple change to make it faster to drag.
