Drag'n'Drop executable files request

[Cyprian]

Hi Steven,
would be possible to add an auto start for Drag'n'Droped executable files like PRG/TOS/APP/TPP?

This would be a nice feature, indeed! I asked the Hayward bros. about that almost 15 years ago, but without success.

It's executable, right?

If I get it right, you want to drag a PRG or TOS file on Steem icon and it would launch it?
Or in the Disk manager, it would be possible to double click and it would start?
I don't say no, as I'd like something like that too, but I already have a nice TODO list.
In the meantime, what I do with those: if they're inside zip files, right click in Disk manager, option "MSA Converter", 'Convert to Disk Image'.

ops, my fault. of course "executable" and no "exacutable"

drag PRG/TOS files onto this window:


From time to time I cross-compile my own small applications for Atari. Currently, every time when I have to check how it works, I have to open GEM's hard disk C (inside Steem) and double click PRG file.
Actually I think that would be faster just to drag and drop that file onto Steem window.

If I get it right, you want to drag a PRG or TOS file on Steem icon and it would launch it?

That is another feature. Would be also cool to have it and it works in Hatari

I didn't know it works in Hatari, I'll have a look there.
In the meantime you may also have a special instance of Steem that will boot into your C folder, simply using "save desktop".
This folder may be the output of the cross-compiler.
