✨ NAME ✨

• dsdm — Drop Site Database Manager - Motif/OPENLOOK drag and drop proxy agent

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dsdm

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so dsdm is out here managing a database of all the drop sites on the display. The moment a drag operation is started, dsdm gets queried for a list of those drop sites. The dragging application uses that drop site information to identify drop sites and give the user feedback during the drag operation. it's giving air traffic control for drag-and-drop, honestly 🦋✨

dsdm also provides a drag-and-drop gateway between Motif and OPENLOOK applications. When an object is dropped on a drop site, dsdm gets a drop message from the drop sender application. Then it translates that drop message and sends the translated message to the drop receiver application. no cap, that's the whole glow-up 💅

💀 WARNINGS 💀

⚠️ bestie, listen: dsdm must be running before applications are started for the drag-and-drop gateway feature to work. Like, before. If it's not up, the gateway feature is not gonna work. periodt. 💀
