When files are dragged from a file manager window to an FLTK app,

platform-specific behaviours are presently as attached.

I don't remember what X11 configuration produces "file://" prefixes

and URI-encoded filenames. That's not what I see now.

Shouldn't we uniformize this and have the X11 platform behave as

all others do, that is, put pathnames on separate lines without encoding

nor prefixes ?

That would make 1.4 slightly changed relatively to 1.3 in behaviour

but not in API. Nevertheless, user code that would decode encoded

filenames or that would remove "file://" prefixes would just do nothing

with the uniformized behaviour. Existing 1.3 code would be largely compatible

with the modified 1.4 behaviour with no change. The only difference

would be that an app expecting multiple pathnames on a single line would

receive them on successive lines.

Comments? Suggestions?
