Hi

I can never get drag and drop from Firefox to work. Is there a trick? I have tried both on v2 and v3 and both seemsto have issues wioth XYP as far as dropping goes. XYP fails to get the contents(according to XYP)

thanks, but that did not resolve the issue for me.

Edit: yeah it seems to resolve for FF3 but not for FF2

Strange, it worked for me all the time with FF2. Now I have FF3 and it works using that fix. Nothing I can do ATM.

Not sure if it's relevant but with Firefox 2 there use to be a lot of strange cases on dual monitor systems ( http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic. ... 479#p17479 ).

I don't have a copy of FF2 available to me at the moment so I'm also not sure how recent builds of XY handle this.

Hi

Don't know if it is the new Firefox 3.5 or the XYplorer 8.10.0 but I can no more drag picture from one to the other.

I checked that "WorkAroundFirefox3ImageDropBug=1" was set

Any idea ?

Thanks

Hmm, bad. So they probably changed it again in 3.5. Will check...

Can I install 3.5 and keep 3.0 at the same time??

Yes, if you get the portable version of it. Will be 3.5.1 by now though.

OK, issue confirmed partly: I can drag-drop images from FF 3.5.1 to XY, but the locally cached version of that image will be used and it seems to be in BMP format always with a random filename. Quite bad! I'm aware that WE handles it better (this hurts). Needs further research...
