Saving Files Via Drag-and-Drop: The Direct Save Protocol for the X Window System
XDS
Current version: 0
Last updated on October 26, 2000


The Direct Save Protocol (XDS) builds on top of the XDND protocol to allow users to save a file by simply dragging it to a file manager window, thereby avoiding the necessity of having a directory browser in each application's Save File dialog.
This protocol was developed by Thomas Leonard who works on the ROX Desktop and John Lindal at New Planet Software.
