With most programs drag'n'drop doesn't work in combination with XYPlorer.
Windows Explorer works fine with for instance 7-zip, Notepad++ and Waterfox, while XYPlorer does not. It's incredibly annoying that I have to start Windows Explorer, then drag'n'drop an object to or from Windows Explorer, then close Windows Explorer, then find the directory in XYPlorer, and THEN finally I can use the file.
Could this please be fixed?

It's a known Windows bug: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/396 ... -to-64-bit
Can't do much about it.

But, if it's a bug, why does Windows Explorer work flawlessly? I can also drag'n'drop from pretty much any program I use daily without fail.

Hard to say what's causing this. I can only add that there no general problem when dropping from 64-bit to XYplorer. Works fine e.g. from Firefox.iycgtptyarvg wrote:x64 -> x86

Re: Drag'n'drop doesn't work with most programs
Here is a capture of trying multiple things:
1. Drop an email from Outlook.
2. Drop a text file to Notepad++.
3. Drop an image from Waterfox.
In all 3 cases XYPlorer fails, while Windows Explorer works fine.

This looks like a Windows 10 administrative rights issue.
Launch all affected programs as administrator and the problem should be fixed.

Thanks for the tip.Nighted wrote:This looks like a Windows 10 administrative rights issue.

I tried it:
Windows Explorer works always with and without administrator rights.
XYplorer fails always with and without administrator rights.
