[v1] The FileDrop event does not trigger in app.run()

[SommerEngineering]

We are still using Tauri v1 in MindWork AI Studio.

In our Rust backend, we log all events, see for example here for the FileDrop Event. Unfortunately, the FileDrop event doesn't work. When I insert the following JavaScript code into our app.js and configure "withGlobalTauri": true, I receive the File Drop Events in the frontend:

window.__TAURI__.event.listen('tauri://file-drop', (event) => {
    console.log(event)
})

Is it a bug that the FileDrop events don't arrive in the backend, or do we need to configure Tauri differently? Our Tauri configuration can be found here.

We are grateful for any help.

hmm, i don't see a reason why that wouldn't work if it works in js. Can you try using the Window's on_window_event hook perhaps?

Wow, it actually works with that. I'm documenting here how it works, so others can follow it better:

let window = app.get_window("main").expect("Failed to get main window.");
window.on_window_event(|event|
    if let tauri::WindowEvent::FileDrop(files) = event {
        info!(Source = "Tauri"; "files were dropped: {files:?}");
    }
);

Thanks @FabianLars for your help. Then it's probably a bug that the event doesn't arrive at app.run(|app_handle, event|.... But this solution helps us for now.
