Drag- and- drop-plugin interface - enhancement request

[Winfried]

I bought the Nik filter collection and played a little bit with it.
I am wondering whether it is possible to have such a plugin interface for the Dxo Filmpack too.
The Dxo Filmpack seems to keep the standards for drag-and-drop. I am able to drop an images on the Dxo Filmpach icon on the desktop.
And there are a lot of other applications that can be used by this drag-and-drop mechanism, i.e. Qimage for printing or exiftools(-k) for examinating metadata.
I guess it might be a cool idea to have a more general drag-and-drop plugin-interface for passing a copy of an image to other applications.
But it is not an urgent problem or request.

An interesting idea...

PWP does not use drag and drop to pass files to plug-ins. Instead it works by passing the name of the file to operate on in a command line when it executes the plug-in program. This hold-over from the days of DOS is still used by most stand-alone programs, so any image editing application that takes command line arguments could be used with something similar to PWP8's current plug-in interface.

Thank you for the reply.
I am no programmer, so I don't know about the differences between drag-and-drap and command line interface.
If the command line interface does the trick, it is more than ok.
