XY locked until drag & drop target app is done processing

[aliteralmind]

Drag ten mp3 files from XY into Audacity. Each file is imported one at a time. The can take a while, depending on file sizes.

I would expect to be able to do stuff in XY as soon as the mouse button is let go of. But XY is completely frozen until Audacity has finished importing all the files.

Is there a way around this?

No, I fear this is a Windows law that I cannot break.

[aliteralmind]

Okay

Then I need the ability to open a folder (selected folders?) in Windows Explorer then. Can this be added to

"Configuration > Mouse, Menus, Safety > Custom items in shell context menu"

? Perhaps there's a scripting solution.

[admin]

Isn't there a way to get the files to audacity without dnd?

[aliteralmind]

Yes. I mostly use dnd though.

[admin]

If you have to do this often you could build a button for it...

[aliteralmind]

Okay. Will try that.
