Description Benjamin Kahn 2003-11-20 20:41:35 UTC 
It would be handy to be able to create tasks in Evolution by dragging a
mail, file or link into the tasks folder. See Ximian Bug #4006.

Is someone actually working on this one ? Because if not 
I might be intrested.
Comment 3 Dennis Smit 2003-11-30 22:47:09 UTC 
From ximian bug 4006:

Dragging an Email to the Tasks folder should prompt to create a new task
with the text of that email in the description. Similarly, dragging a
Task/Email to the calendar should prompt to create a new appointment

The userinterface has been considerably changed since this bug was
filled so i am curious for which widgets i should handle a drop
receive.

I guess doing this on both the buttons that select the view
and the view widget itself would be best, right ?
Comment 4 Håvard Wigtil 2003-12-01 09:47:34 UTC 
I've started working on this, but hadn't posted my interest yet, as
I'm still figuring out drag'n'drop ;-)
Comment 5 Dennis Smit 2003-12-04 22:02:18 UTC 
Alright, i've got this VERY near finished, drag-n-drop works, task
creation is almost working as it should be.

I now support message/rfc822 and text/plain as drop target.
Should i add more ?
Comment 6 Dennis Smit 2004-01-15 14:55:06 UTC
