Possible events a data source needs to react to

Variants

Send

Write the offered data for selected mime type

This can happen several times during a dnd setup, and does not mean the action is finished.

Fields of Send

mime_type: String	Requested mime type
pipe: WritePipe	Pipe to write into

Target

Target mime type

Notifies that the target accepted a given mime type. You can use it to provide feedback (changing the icon of the drag'n'drop for example).

Can be None if the current target does not accept any of the proposed mime types.

This event can be emitted several times during the process

Fields of Target

mime_type: Option<String>

The type accepted by the target

Action

Notifies of the current selected action for the drag'n'drop

Can only happen for data sources used during a drag'n'drop.

This can change several times, the last received defines which action should actually be taken.

Fields of Action

action: DndAction

The action chosen by the target

Cancelled

The action using this data source was cancelled.

Once this event is received, the DataSource can not be used any more, and you should drop it for cleanup.

Happens if the user cancels the current drag'n'drop, or replaces the selection buffer.

Dropped

The user performed the "drop" during a drag'n'drop

This does not mean the operation is finished (the operation can still be cancelled afterwards).

You are not guaranteed to receive this event at some point, as the compositor may cancel the action before the user drops.

This event can only be generated on sources used for drag'n'drop, not selection sources.

Finished

The action is finished, this data source will not be used any more

If the selected drag'n'drop action was "move", you can now delete the underlying resource.

This event can only be generated on sources used for drag'n'drop, not selection sources.
