OK, but at the same time it only affects you.
A tough one. I don't see anything in the code that could explain this.

Yea I hear you.
Seems to affect m48tx as well. Is there a place I can download older final/beta XY versions from, preferably portable? If so, I'll see if I can pinpoint exactly what version the issue started in. It might take a while since I haven't found a way to reliably reproduce the issue though.

Don, this does affect me as well. Drag simply quits working in XY. I have never experienced this in any other program.

Also in the Catalog?
Next beta we start the hunt:

stops working for some reason. To show the log run this script line after
dragging failed:
text get("debuglog");

Thanks Don. But you know that since you added debug logic, I will never experience the problem again.
That seems to be how the universe works.

The
debug code will be in the beta versions for one week:

If the bug does not appear within that time for any of the users reporting it I have to close that window. Good luck!

Very strange but running the beta (0106) for the last day or so and I have not had the issue - I usually experience it a few times a day.
I upgraded from 17.50.0000 to 17.50.0106. Did anything else change between those versions that could have had some effect?
I do notice one difference:
When thumbnails are being generated and I push the back button on my mouse (mouse-4 i believe) before the entire page of thumbnails is finished:
- In the old version: XY would go back to the previous folder
- In the new version: XY stops generating thumbnails and stays in the current folder. Then, a second click of the back button on the mouse and XY takes me back to the previous folder.

Ugh. I have not had the drag problem reappear since 17.50.0106. This is my experience with 17.50.0200 with thumbnails/mouse:
- Start thumbnail generation in folder A.
- Back mouse button stops thumbnails.
- Back mouse button again goes to previous folder.
- Forward mouse button goes to folder A and resumes thumbnail generation. Back mouse button now ignored until thumbnail generation complete or ESC pressed.
Definitely not bugs and actually somewhat helpful.

I still have not had the issue with 17.50.0106 and I've been pushing XY as hard as I can over the past few days. I really do think it's fixed in this version...I'm actually kind of scared to upgrade to a newer version because this one is working so well
m48tx - Still no issue with 17.50.0200?

Hey ksarnelli. No issues with .0200, .0202 (currently using) so far. Keep the .0106 installer in case you need to downgrade, but give .0202 a try. I have been pushing .0202 hard as well and drag has not failed yet. I think Don did some magic and is not letting on.

Some bugs already disappear when you threaten them with a fix.

Well rats. .0202 drag quit working. I had just batch renamed some files using a string with * to preserve existing name after creating a couple of new folders and dragging files to the new folders. My gut feel is that drag quits working after creating a few new folders (I use FileMenuTools to create folder then F4 to refresh tree so I don't lose focus of the files I want to copy) and then dragging files to the new folders. Batch rename may be an issue as well.

Does .0202 still have the debug code in it? If so, hopefully that can help Don.

Sure, let me see the debug log now!
It's important you show me the log *right after* dragging failed. And if the log is empty then that's also interesting for me!
