[Gtk-sharp-list] Drag and drop path

[Christian Rudh]

Hi

The code from muine worked good. But not with international and special
characters. I solved it by using this C gnome-vfs function instead:

	[DllImport ("libgnomevfs-2.dll")]
	private static extern IntPtr gnome_vfs_format_uri_for_display (string
str);

	public static string FormatUriForDisplay (string uri)
	{
		IntPtr p = gnome_vfs_format_uri_for_display (uri);

		if (p == IntPtr.Zero)
			return null;
		else
		return GLib.Marshaller.PtrToStringGFree (p);
	}

This works fine with importing the files and showing them in the
application, but gstreamer doesn't accept the filenames :(

But I solved that by sending the URI instead of the filename. GStreamer
accepts them if you add the song to the pipeline with:

	filesrc = ElementFactory.Make ("gnomevfssrc", "disk_source");
	filesrc.SetProperty ("location", songURI);

So gnomevfssrc instead of filesrc. Now all files I have tried to add so
far works beutifully! :)

Hope it is to some help if you haven't solved it yet (saw that is was
still an issue in bluefunk cvs).
