OOTB drag and drop functionality is not working for pathbrowser widget

[Dinu_Arya]

Hi,

I tried to drag and drop an asset into pathbrowser widget in Touch-Optimized UI. But it is not accepting the asset. Is it AEM6 bug? If it's a bug then how can I customize it(/libs/granite/ui/components/foundation/form/pathbrowser) to make it work? Please let me know the solution. Your suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,

AryA.

Hi,

In general, it is not possible to drag and drop into Touch UI dialogs. This feature is being considered for a future release.

Hi Justin,

Thanks for the information. We are developing the components using Granite (Touch-Optimized UI). What we are thinking is Author might feel uncomfortable  with this. Author has to type the path to asset, might not remember the entire path.... .

Thanks,

Hi AryA,

There should be autocomplete in the pathbrowser widget, but I think you'll find that this isn't a complete solution. If you have a lot of path-based components, you may want to use the Classic UI for page authoring in the near term.

Hi Justin,

Yes. I observed the autocomplete feature of pathbrowser. So if we want to use drag n drop feature of pathfield widget, we have to author the component using classic UI until we get the fix. right?

Thanks,

Hi AryA,

if you want to do any drag and drop into dialogs, you have to use the classic UI.
