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

[farzadmf]

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

Yes, I am aware of this. Unfortunately, I confirmed that this is an issue with gtk4 iteself in both MacOS and Windows systems. As soon as the gtk fixes it, it should work automatically on ripdrag.

Ah, that's too bad. Do you know if it's on their roadmap? Any issue I can track?

I didn't see one open unfortunately, plese open one here https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues if you feel like it.
I will try to fill the issue up with more information once I'll go back to macos... In the meanwhile I pushed some of the tests I was doing with on the macos-tests branch

Is there an open issue GTK4 issue to follow?
I do not know what the problem is with GTK4, so I do not know what to search on their issue tracker.

I don't think there is one. I don't have a working macos install to reproduce, but you should be able to repro and report the bug by compiling gtk4 demos and testing drag and drop there.
