[Solved]Use a file dropped onto an application

Post by Dr.Tyler O. »

I've noticed some forms of software allow you to drop a file onto the application, it opens the file inside the application, and uses it some way. How can I accomplish this with Love2D?

Any topic I have ever posted that I felt did not require a .love file, although they were requested, never required one so I would appreciate if you did not ask me to supply one unless you think that I am ignorant for not doing so.

This isn't possible with the LÖVE API in 0.9.x. In 0.10.0 you'll be able to use new love.filedropped and love.directorydropped event callbacks to detect and handle drag-and-drop situations with files / folders.

Alright, thank you.
