What about the possibility to make a file drag and drop
from one desktop to the other

Yes, that'd be cool. It turns out to be fiendishly
difficult, though.

i would say this would be too hard as if it was done the
program would slow to a halt, and it would be very hard to
code

slow? probably not, except actually transferring a dropped
file will obviously take some time. but that could be done
in the background with relatively little effect on the
interactive performance of synergy.

On windows boxes, just set up a share on each computer.
Then make a "sent to" link. Right click the file, send to
Works fine for me. Id prefer drag and drop feature, but this
works in the mean time.

Presumably you'd want to do this in another connection and
another thread, otherwise it would thoroughly swamp the
current one. It would be a damn nice feature, though.

I have never worked on an open source project before but I would really like to try my hand at developing this feature. I would guess that it would not be very difficult. Obviously it would need to be secure across the LAN. I was browsing for this feature specifically and I found a few requests for this feature by different people. It was mentioned that setting up an ssh channel for file transfer between the files could be an option.
Again I would guess it would not be particularly difficult to achieve.

Yeah, you could use encryption, but it would be simpler not to. Synergy is already unencrypted (though issue #13 addresses this), so making file transfers also unencrypted would make some degree of sense.
Anyway, please ask on the "dev mailing list":http://groups.google.com/group/synergy-plus-dev if you have any dev questions. You might also want to check out the [[DeveloperFAQ|dev FAQ]].
