QML DropArea: drop an external file does not work

[ddonate]

Hi,

I have a QML application and I would like to enable an area to drop there an external file (dragged from Windows explorer, for instance) and show the file path in my application.

I have a really simple test qml to try, but I can not drop anything ("not accepted" cursor is displayed when I enter my DropArea dragging the file).

My code:

import QtQuick 2.1
import QtQuick.Controls 1.0
 
ApplicationWindow {
    title: qsTr("Drop Area test")
 
    width: 800
    height: 600
 
    visible: true
 
    DropArea {
        id: drop
        anchors.fill: parent
 
        enabled: true
 
        onEntered:
            console.log("entered");
 
        onExited:
            console.log("exited")
 
        onDropped:
            console.log("dropped")
    }
 
    Text {
        id: textDrop
        anchors.centerIn: parent
        text: "Drop an element"
    }
}

import QtQuick 2.1
import QtQuick.Controls 1.0

ApplicationWindow {
    title: qsTr("Drop Area test")

    width: 800
    height: 600

    visible: true

    DropArea {
        id: drop
        anchors.fill: parent

        enabled: true

        onEntered:
            console.log("entered");

        onExited:
            console.log("exited")

        onDropped:
            console.log("dropped")
    }

    Text {
        id: textDrop
        anchors.centerIn: parent
        text: "Drop an element"
    }
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I supponse I am doing anything wrong, but I can not fix it...

Thanks in advance,
Diego

You might have to accept the event in your signal handlers.

Thanks for your time. It seemed to be something related to my QT installation, I reinstalled QT package and now it works... I don't know why!!!
