Squeak-dev image: no MP3 drops to World accepted

Hi Damien,

Running on my Linux (gentoo) system, sq3.9-7067dev07.08.1 does not accept mp3
drops to the World. The result is: nothing happens.  How come?
On the standard 3.9-7067 system, dropping an MP3 file on the World results in
a player to play the mp3 file.

BTW: not all MP3 files are accepted on the World as a dropped file. Does
anyone know why? I haven't dug at all into it, so I'm assuming it has to do
with the limitations of the mp3 decoder. Anyone enlighten me?

I take that back. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Don't know why
though.

Squeak-dev image: no MP3 drops to World accepted

Hi brad in squeak 7137 (basic not dev) I’ve noticed
that dropping projects on to the window sometimes will
load the project and sometimes not. It seems very
related to where I drop things.

So I don’t think the problem is specific to MP3 files.
 It seems to me a mantis report is in order.
Want to start one?

Yours in curiosity and service, --Jerome Peace

I've noticed that dropping an mp3 file on a flap will do nothing - which I
think is appropriate. Dropping an mp3 file on a system browser or some other
system window or a rectangle, (maybe any object) will treat the file as if
you dropped the file on the World. In other words, e.g., if you want to drop
a GIF file into a rectangle, you have to drop it anywhere first (which will
be on the World) and then drop it on the rectangle.

Now, I can't get it to fail. So, I might have been in wrong about that. If I
see it fail, I'll try to duplicate and write up a defect.

thanks!
