I was notified by some user that GreenBrowser has directional "super drag and go" which lets you drag in different directions to do different things

I think directional dragging IS a very good idea, I plan to implement it in Super DragAndGo extenion like: drag a link UP to load it on foreground and DOWN on background, RIGHT to copy the link to clipboard, ... , drag a word UP to search in search engine 1 and DOWN in search engine 2, RIGHT to copy the word to clipboard...

There are lots of possiblilties there including what come to my mind as above. So, I would like to make a poll to see what exact useful features you guys, especially current Super DNG users, want.

Put your comments here.

I can't believe I found this plugin, MyIE2 acts just like this and I've been looking for something compareable.

Thank you so much!

I would like to see some sort of configuration interface so that the user could enter a regex (or some similar) to match against the dragged text, then launch a certain URL possibly containing that text.

For instance, if I wanted to match package tracking numbers, I would enter a regex of "^1Z[0-9]*$" or some such, which would redirect me to the package carrier's tracking page for that number.

Leaving the regex and page entry up to the user will also preclude the project maintainers from violating any terms of service.

-- Dave
Good idea! In my understanding, basically, you want to be able to set up a set (how many is enough?) of "RegEx and search engine" pairs so that the search engine invoked by "Super Drag And Go" will automatically selected by RegEx match for what has been dragged.

Am I correct on this?

This is a very usefull extension. Thank you for it.

But I want an option to disable search of selected text, because I constantly start the search, when I select a chunk of text.

That would greatly improve the usability for me by an huge factor.

Excellent Plugin - thank you

Just a suggestion
dragging a text link opens it in a tab - fine
dragging a picture link should also open it in a tab
somehow the current behavior seems reversed in case of pictures
IMHO MyIE2 behaves properly
all dragged links open in new tab. if you want to save a picture press ctrl while dragging it

you could add an option for the current setting and the new setting
also dragging a picture over a picture does not save it . you have to drag over the edge of the picture. this is a problem if the picture is big.
nevertheless an excellent plugin

note : web source browsing seeems not to be working

Harshad's Suggestion would be a nice feature :)

I dont know if its possible to implement, but as a further Addition it would be nice, if one could define shortcuts for the different search engines, e.g. w+drag&drop for wiki search, d+drag&drop for "dictionary search"....

0.2.4 works fine here with Firefox PR 1.0 (0.10.1 ) but it always uses google to search...

I really appreciate your extension: it convinced me to switch to firefox! However, there is a bug with the extension: whenever I perform a link drag, the link always gains the focus and I have to click on the empty space on the page to shift the focus so that I can perform another drag on the same page. This bug may seem trivial, but it is very annoying for me, since I use this feature extensively.

Morphis, if you do implement the directional drag function, consider implementing it in a separate extension, since directional drag is more like a mosue gesture.

Hey, First - this is a great plugin for firefox - It's just like the Myie2 gesture & that's what made me stick with it till now.

A small suggestion/feature maybe - Make tabs that are open active... i.e move to the new tab automatically.

Definitely agree about the comment about dragging image links - thats why I came here and found the homepage and this thread - to say just that.
I love the plugin but right now it's driving me crazy that every time I try and drag an image link it's just copying the image instead of opening the link.

PLEASE fix this,
LOVE the plugin thou - it's what made me finally give up myIE2 and make the switch to Firefox - without this plugin I'd never have switched!!

First off, thank you sooo much for this extension. I didn't realize I was in such large company of being a former myIE2 user switching once this extension was available ;-)

But, I'm having problems similar to what firefoxfan said. The directional dragging works fine with links and bookmarks, but dragging plain-text highlights always opens the same way regardless of direction dragged.

Directional dragging sounds good. As for RegExp-based behaviour, check out the ConQuery extension ( which does this... this extension is an ideal candidate to merge with ConQuery, for some really advanced & customizable behaviour. Because as we all know, dragging is quicker than selecting from a context menu...

Absouletely my favorite extension (and the reasion I'm running 1.0 and not the new version).

A couple suggestions though:
1: Give me an option to turn directional dragging off
2: If something is being dragged when I right-click, it does not open a new tab. I say this because I occasionally drag text by accident, and it would be nice to avoid opening a new google tab.

3)open install.rdf
4)find max version (I think it was 1.0+, change to something like 1.5)
5)it should update teh archive w/o you unpacking it from your zip software.
6)in ff file>open open file. open the xpi

Now it either starts downloading the image, or if I deactivate "Drag an image to download", it loads the image in a new tab.

Well, contrary to the liking of many posters here, I love the "saving images by dragging" feature. I would like to see it expanded though, to allow for more control over where images are saved--either have a toolbar button with a dropdown menu for rapidly switching which directory images are stored to, or have Super DragandGo prompt you which directory to store on image to upon dragging it.

If you are going to add in so when its dragged up it will open a foreground and down in background, word to copy when you go right, open Search engine 1 when etc etc can you also have options to DISABLE these extra stuff?
I just wanna use your brilliant extension to drag links to open in the background, and words to open up in the background on the selected search engine. I say this because I MAINLY use 1 search engine anyway.

It's open source! Just unpack "superdrag.jar" with any ZIP archiver, remove few lines from superdrag.js in it (you really don't need to know java for that), ZIP it back (to "superdrag.jar") and replase original one. It's easy!

Very useful extension!
A feature suggestion, though:

• I can't open multiline-URLs with a drag since SuperDNG thinks it's a phrase. But the string is grabbed correctly, so I'd like an option that treats each text-drag as an open-url-action.
Or maybe this is something for the directional-dragging idea? Dragging to the left: Search, Dragging to the right: Open URL.
