Drag 'n Drop custom file (.vox)

Hey all, Rioku here again with another small question.

I have a custom file importer for the .vox format (Based on this using my own meshing system), and I'd like to know how to have a drag and drop for the files rather than inserting a path to the file.

As I said, currently in the GUI I just have it load from a path specified in the inspector, it would help a lot if I could drag the files onto the variable to use for importing.

 

did you ever figure this out?

 

It sounds like it would be a matter of creating a custom file browser and implementing the 'IBeginDragHandler, IDragHandler, IEndDragHandler' in the UnityEngine.EventSystems namespace for your drag and drop script.

There's a list of custom file browsers on the Asset Store:

Unity has a EditorUtility.OpenFolderPanel, but that's only accessible in the editor, not in a final build.

 

I'm not working on this anymore, but the problem is still how to display the actual file as selected in the editor.

I could do this now if I wanted to, but I'm not working on this anymore.
