For years, I could open a pdf and manually drop individual pages from the pdf into Xyplorer and it would auto increment something like this:
Untitled Extract Pages-04.pdf
Untitled Extract Pages-03.pdf
Untitled Extract Pages-02.pdf
Untitled Extract Pages-01.pdf
Untitled Extract Pages.pdf
But several months ago something changed.
No instead of auto incrementing, it pops up a box that says " Overwrite Existing Item?"
I've attached a screen shot of the pop up.
I've tried a few things I've seen on here but I'm doing something wrong.

Re: Auto increment Drag and Drop Files
Do you have Tools > Configuration > Safety Belts, Network > Confirm drag and drop, and/or Confirm copy and move operations, enabled? If so, does disabling both options help?
Re: Auto increment Drag and Drop Files
I don't have any of those options checked under Safety Belts
Re: Auto increment Drag and Drop Files
I can confirm the behaviour you're seeing. According to the help file:
...which seemingly means no options available, unfortunately.Any file operations triggered by drag and drop to XYplorer from another application are not spawned to XYcopy.
Re: Auto increment Drag and Drop Files
What happens if you click No on that dialog?

Yes, this has been wished and it seems to be a general standard.nbernard wrote: ↑13 Jul 2020 00:30 For years, I could open a pdf and manually drop individual pages from the pdf into Xyplorer and it would auto increment something like this:

Re: Auto increment Drag and Drop Files
I don't understand why it worked for years and then suddenly stopped. It's one of the major reasons I liked the program.
Thanks for your help!

Re: Auto increment Drag and Drop Files
I will add an option to Configuration | Colors and Styles | Templates | Dropped Messages: "Auto-increment filenames on collision"

Re: Auto increment Drag and Drop Files
Just stumbled upon this fix for allowing auto-increments during drag and drop operations. Very helpful, thanks for adding it.
