Any chance for the universal drag-n-drop to be implemented?
There's one feature, the lack of which in Opera repels many of my friends from switching to it. I keep checking with every new release and it's still not available:DRAG-AND-DROP SELECTED TEXT from one page to the text-box on another. Very annoying, why is it not there? Explorer, Firefox have it.
Ultimately, why is there no universal drag-and-drop, selected text/image from an opera page into an external application, like Photoshop or Word??
are there any scripts/extensions for this?

Never even read of such a thing being possible. Would never have occurred to even try that but I have always used one full size screen at a time. Can't you just cut and paste?
Like I said, it's a standard feature in IE & Firefox.
In the case with my wife she uses this drag-n-drop text to process orders in her online store - to charge credit cards or make mail labels by drag-n-dropping names/addresses, it really saves time vs. copy/paste.
