XYplorer Beta Club

And you cannot drag anymore in this state?

That is correct. I have the XY window still open and drag is not working.

What if you tick this?
Configuration | Shell Integration | Drag and Drop | Use standard shell drag and drop

Please leave XYplorer open in this state -- we have a good chance now to fix it!

That is already ticked.

OK, untick it...

I have that ticked as well, in case that's important.

I was able to reproduce the drag failure with this sequence of events:

- downloaded three zip files (each zip file containing multiple files) to holding folder
- use WinRAR to extract each zip file to its own folder (under holding folder)
- using FileMenuTools, create two destination folders in permanent location
- F4 to refresh tree
- navigate into zip folder 1 and select 90% of the files and drag to destination folder 1
- navigate into zip folder 2 and select all files and drag to destination folder 1
- navigate into zip folder 3 and select 90% of the files then batch rename to "String *"
- with files still selected, drag to destination folder 2 but the drag fails from this point forward

I unticked it and drag is still broken (I have not restarted XY).

I don't understand this part.

FileMenuTools is a shareware program that provides customizable right click context menu entries one of which is to create folders. I use this so I can create folders in the tree without losing focus of the files currently selected. It is just another way to create folders.

Also, my right click context menu is now screwed up. A lot of entries are missing. Hmmmm.

OK, I don't think the issue is related to FileMenuTools.

I have no time right now to continue the hunt. But we have a good trace. I'll come back later... (You can restart XY now )

OK Don. Thanks for your willingness to help with this issue!

Well, sure, it's my job.

Is this a 100% way to reproduce it?
Do you open the context menu to batch rename? (a 3rd shell extension might be causing it)
How many files did you drag?
Was that a copy or a move?
Custom Copy or shell copy?

The last version (v17.50.0205) has an enhanced debug log. When it happens again please let's see that log again.
