The Direct Save Protocol, abbreviated XDS (for X Window Direct Save Protocol), is a software protocol that supports saving files by dragging them to file manager windows.
XDS is a feature of the X Window System graphical user interface for Unix-like computer operating systems.
XDS is built on top of the XDND protocol.
Famous quotes containing the words direct and/or save:
“Computer mediation seems to bathe action in a more conditional light: perhaps it happened; perhaps it didn’t. Without the layered richness of direct sensory engagement, the symbolic medium seems thin, flat, and fragile.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“Only men of moral and mental force, of a patriotic regard for the relationship of the two races, can be of real service as ministers in the South. Less theology and more of human brotherhood, less declamation and more common sense and love for truth, must be the qualifications of the new ministry that shall yet save the race from the evils of false teaching.”
—Fannie Barrier Williams (1855–1944)
