[solved] No "Custom copy" with right-click drag and drop

[daniel_m]

"Custom copy" is activated for all copy and move operations. When I drag and drop anything with a right-click and chose "copy or move here" in the context menu, Windows is handling the operation.

The Custom copy handler only works, when I drag and drop with a left-click or when I use the context menu (right-click file - context menu copy - right-click destination - context menu paste).

I am using Windows Server 2012 R2.

I guess you do this drap & drop in the same pane, right?

It works fine from pane to pane

I have only one pane active. I tried copying within a tab, from one tab to another and from a tab into the folder tree. Every time, Windows handled the copy operation.

"copy or move here" ??? What is the exaxt name of the command?

[daniel_m]

The exact names are "Copy here" and "Move here". These commands are available in the context menu after dragging a file/folder some place with the right mouse button pressed (mouse cursor with "plus" icon).

This is the shell drop context menu: It can only trigger shell functions.

To see the XYplorer drop context menu tick this:

Configuration | Menus, Mouse, Safety | Context Menus | Custom drag and drop context menu

Em, the normal right click drag and drop context menu looks like this:

So you didn't activate XY's context menu:
[x] Configuration | Menus, Mouse, Safety | Context Menus | Custom drag and drop context menu

Edit: Too late...

Thanks, the custom context menu works well :-)
I wasn't aware that the shell context menu cannot be forced to use anything else than the shell for file operations, apart from adding an additional copy/move command of course ... which would be confusing, I guess.

Hi, first of all a hats of to the developer, XYplorer is a terrific program!

I do have a problem though, just like the one described in this thread!

When I connect my Samsung mobile phone with SD card to my PC, and try to copy a large file from the SD card in the phone to my D drive, custom copy doesn't work, it starts the normal windows copy thing, which in turn renders XYplorer unusable for the time it copies.

All the solutions I found in this thread are turned on, I use the custom context menu, custom copy is enabled for everything, I'm at the end of my wisdom. Maybe someone can chime in that knows more than I do?

Thanks a lot!

Custom copy doesn't support MTP so I think that currently the process can't be backgrounded without opening another instance of XY or similar workaround.

Wow that was fast! Thanks a lot, at least now I know there's nothing wrong with my config!

That goes only for phones though, right?
