Hi
I have a main stack that accepts a drag-drop for files like this on a hidden
field the size of the card:
*on* dragDrop
*if* the dragData["files"] is not empty *then*
*modal* stack "AddMetaData"
addFiles(dragData["files"])
*end* *if*
*set* the dragAction to link
*pass* dragDrop
*end* dragDrop
The addFiles command just copies the files.
AddMetaData is a substack with just one text field and an "OK" button,
*on* mouseUp
*global* gNewTags
*put the text of field MetaData into gNewMetaData*
*close* this stack
*end* mouseUp
The problem: the text field has focus, but I can't type in it!
I tried to mimick it with a simple mainstack/substack where the mainstack
has a button"Go modal", and the moda stack is the same, and there.... it
works. So I must be missings omething with te message path/drag drop/.....
Any clues? I have thought about a more wizard like behaviour, but nce I
start hiding/closing stacks and using go to things are indeed editable, but
highly unpredictable.

** Just to be the clear, my use case is quite simple:
1- user drags file on stack
2- user adds some mandatory info about the files
3- files get copied
(2) is causing the problems, probably because I don't have my head wrapped
around LC completely (though I do feel more comfortable more and more)
