Drag & Drop from Windows Explorer

Post by acheton »

Hi Don

I'm using XY 21.10.0008 and am experiencing problems dragging and dropping files from Windows Explorer into XY. Both D&D Right click and normal D&D both seem to fail with a no entry sign shown in XY. I don't recall changing any settings which might affect this, so perhaps its a bug? Any thoughts?

thanks

Ach

File Explorer with admin permissions vs. XYplorer without them?

Thanks for the reply. Both apps were launched by me logged in as Admin but I didn't explicitly launch XY using "Run as Admin". I have repeated the exercise launching XY as Admin and it fails in the same way...

Should work. Try a Windows reboot.
