11.1 Drag and drop file upload

Drag and Drop allows you to simply drag files from your desktop or an open file explorer window and drop them straight

onto a zone's Playlist or a file manager within the iCOMPEL.

If your browser supports drag and drop, then a message will appear over the playlist or the files and folders tab stating so.

To start dragging, select one or more files on your computer then click and while holding down the left mouse button,

move the mouse to where you want to drop the files on the playlist/files & folders tab, then let go of the left mouse button.

What happens will depend on where you drop:

Playlists

As your mouse hovers over the playlist, you'll see gaps opening up between the items in the list showing where you can

drop.

Once you drop the files, you'll see a green upload progress bar as the browser copies the files into the iCOMPEL (or not if

the files are small and your connection to the iCOMPEL is fast).

Files are uploaded to a folder based on the current layout and zone name. For example if I upload a file "trees.jpg" to a

layout "Bears" into a zone named "Images" then the file will be stored as media/Bears/Images/trees.jpg.
