[maybe fixed] Cannot move folders with drag 'n drop

Post by daniel_m »

When I try to move a folder by dragging it onto a target, I get a peculiar error message "Can't find the specified file.". It doesn't matter if I drag with the left or right mouse button.

With Windows Explorer, I can move any folder in this way. With XYplorer, I can copy and delete folders and I can move files with drag 'n drop.

I tried many things, like disabling XYplorer file operations and running XYplorer (and its helper executables) with administrator rights. Nothing helped.

My computer is running Windows Server 2012 and I get this error on NTFS, ReFS and FAT32. XYplorer was v15.7 and I updated to v15.8.

Edit: Cut & paste works fine.
Edit 2: No, c&p also doesn't work :-(


And another edit: Could this be caused by hiding Libraries? I remember that I had a similar problem with Windows Explorer once on my laptop. Just strange that XYplorer is affected, while Windows Explorer is fine...

Hm, I kind of "fixed" my problem by using "Custom Copy Operations".
Strangely, this was already activated. I had to disable the option and enable it again...
