I've used jemplode a lot under windows, and was able to drag and drop whole directories into the playlist window, and it would add em in preparation for sync. But I cant drag and drop with jemplode in linux, and so I cant figure out how to add songs to the empeg. any advice is appreciated, I feel it must be something stupid thats stopping me...

Edit, New Tune.

If I recall correctly, Mike is aware of the lack of drag/drop support in Jemplode under Linux, and it will be in there someday.

This is a limitation of the Java VM on Linux as far as I can tell. I believe it is supposed to be fixed in JDK 1.5 (or Java2 5.0, for those who love retarded marketing names). You can download jdk1.5 beta2 from java.sun.com if you want to try it out.

Ah, I remembered it wrong, then.

Should I put into the FAQ... Q: Drag and drop doesn't work in Jemplode on Linux, A: Update your Java runtime engine?

I don't think anyone has ever actually verified that the new JDK fixes it (at least w/ jEmplode) ... If someone wants to volunteer to try it out, that would be cool. In which case, it does seem like a handy FAQ entry.

I just upgraded to JDK 1.5 beta2 and still get the same thing. Namely, drag and drop still doesn't work.
