Re: [PATCH spice-protocol V3] vd_agent.h: drag-and-drop support

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Dear all

Please keep in mind that some organization would want to forbid transfers between guest and client (for security reasons)
The feature should be available with a setup parameter

Best regards

Cyril

At present, Vmware and Virtualbox has supported file drag&drop
feature,
I think it's a good feature for users, so we want qemu/spice to
supports it.

This patch first adds communication protocol between client and
guest,
we must make the agent protocol stable before coding, this is what we
want this patch to do.

This feature has been discussed on spice mailing list.

The more details are available at following pages:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2012-November/011400.html
and
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2012-November/011485.html

Something that we haven't discussed yet afaik is support for drag&drop from guest to client. The clipboard agent messages work both ways. It looks to me like the Xfer messages would work in both directions.

I think that we should stop seeing this as drag and drop support, and
start talking it as a file transfer mechanism. We happen to plan to
add file drag and drop to the client window as a ui to initiate a file
transfer in the client -> guest direction. But we could have a menu
entry where a file open dialog gets shown too, etc.

And purely as a file transfer protocol I see no problems with using
this in the other direction either. Now for a UI for the other direction...

Regards,

Hans
