# Drag'n'drop

With the DND feature plugin enabled, there's an even simpler method now to export stations. Simply click and hold the mouse on a stream entry, then drag it out to the desktop, file manager or directly into VLC or any running music player. That'll usually copy a stream/station address directly.

Now it's not guaranteed to work with all applications or file managers, as X11/Gtk DND support is somewhat arcane and wonky. You may specifically have to adapt the default export format for this. Generally an XSPF or PLS file gets created for file managers. While VLC is one of the few applications that understands direct playlist URLs or literal M3U/PLS payloads even.

## Importing

Playlist importing also works mostly. Here the action module takes care to unpack PLS, XPSF or M3U files and a few other formats. If you drag in streams/playlists from other applications, it'll usually be expanded.

Take note that Streamtuner2 is not intended as playlist manager though. It will only accept radio streaming lists and discard local MP3/Ogg files.

The import capabilities also allow to move a station entry from one of the channel tabs into your bookmarks list. Simply drag an entry over the "bookmarks" notebook tab then further along into the favourite list. - While this also works the other way round, it doesn't make sense to add bookmarks to Shoutcast/Xiph/etc. Because when their lists get refreshed (`F5`) all custom entries are usually dropped.

## Export format configuration

Use `F12` and change the DND export format. Again PLS is most universal, XSPF most complete, but other formats still available. Use the "desktop" format only if you want to bookmark direct playback links on your desktop.

This is a workaround, because XDND is commonly just implemented as dumb file transfer scheme. Hardly any application specifies the actually desired formats, thus there's no auto-negotiation. ST2 therefore has to create temporary export files and hope for the best.
