I am using the drag and drop of files in order drop the files to open with my app.

This works very well on WIN32, but under LINUX it does not work Sad

I haver never seen this feature work under linux, is it normal or is it a bug ?

I've been triing to see what's happening and I found the following things:

The ctrl DragAndDrop() gets called all the time, even while moving the selected file
The pasteClip is always empty ??

I work under linux FEDORA 12 (I know it's quite old now) with KDE

Doe's anybody have this working under linux ?

Note: The dropfiles example app is the test case

It is implemented, the clipboard type is "text/uri-list"...

I have just tested in Gnome, it seems to work fine.

It is not unlikely that KDE has different protocol (or different clipboard type) for this...
