Drag-n-Drop files to/from FAR

[faerot]

My solution:
Build "dragon" program from here https://github.com/mwh/dragon and put it somewhere, i.e. to ~/.config/far2l/dragon
Also wrote a script and put there ~/.config/far2l/dragon.py:

#!/usr/bin/python3

import os
import shutil
import subprocess 
import sys
from urllib.parse import unquote
from urllib.request import urlretrieve

if len(sys.argv) <= 1:
    print('\nUSAGE: dragon.py /destination/dir/\n')
else:
    dst_dir = os.path.expanduser(sys.argv[1])
    if not os.path.isdir(dst_dir):
        print('ERROR: ', dst_dir, ' is not a directory')
        sys.exit(1)

    this_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
    p = subprocess.Popen([os.path.join(this_dir, 'dragon'),
                          '--target', '--on-top', '--and-exit'], 
                         stdin=subprocess.PIPE, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
    stdout, stderr = p.communicate()
    for url in stdout.decode().splitlines():
        dst_fn = os.path.join(dst_dir, os.path.basename(unquote(url)))
        if os.path.exists(dst_fn):
            print('ERROR: {} - already exists, skipped!'.format(dst_fn))
            continue
        print('+ ' + dst_fn + ' <== ' + url)
        if url.startswith('file://'):
            shutil.copy2(unquote(url[len('file://'):]), dst_fn)
        else:
            try:
                urlretrieve(url, dst_fn)
            except Exception as e:
                print('  ^^^ ' + str(e))

Add following menu items to user menu:
To drop:

To drag:

Drawback: extra steps - invoke menu items first, but better than nothing.
How do you solve this? Do you have better solutions?

Issue exists long time ago. Nothing was actually done AFAIK.

Great, what about KDE?

it all depends on how the clipboard works in KDE, I don't have it and it's hard for me to check
