<title>Drag and Drop</title>

<p>You can drop files, file names or timestamps on <app>Parlatype</app>'s window.</p>

<list>
<item><p>Files: Drag and drop a file from a file manager, e.g. <app>Files</app>, on <app>Parlatype</app> and it will open that file.</p></item>
<item><p>File names: Select a file name from a word processor, e.g. <app>LibreOffice</app>, drop the selected text on <app>Parlatype</app> and it will open that file. This will always work if the selection contains a full path. If you select the name only, <app>Parlatype</app> will look up its full path in the list of recent files and open it if it can find it in that list.</p></item>
<item><p>Timestamps: You can drag and drop timestamps in both directions. Select a timestamp from a word processor, e.g. <app>LibreOffice</app>, drop the selected text on <app>Parlatype</app> and it will jump to that position. Or, you click on <app>Parlatype</app>'s time label and drag it to a word processor to insert it there.</p></item>
