right-button drag-and-drop mouse pointer

Post by autocart »

v15.90.0020 - 2015-11-08 19:28
...
* Mouse Pointer: After more than 16 years I changed the right-button
drag-and-drop mouse pointer from an empty white square to a white square
filled with 4 black lines (plus white arrow).
...
I can't figure out (not even in XY) what that means.

Drag a file using the right mouse button. Watch how the mouse pointer changes...

In Australia it's the left button. (Joke)

No, I cannot explain. I should give up programming then...

I think the change log was just missing something like: "indicating that the drag and drop context menu will be shown".

I also found it a bit confusing on the first couple of reads. :whistle:

Argh, now I see what happened:

If this is ticked I have no full control over the pointer, and it will indeed show a plus sign on right-drag:
Configuration | Shell Integration | Drag and Drop | Use standard shell drag and drop

Sorry, autocart, I should have seen that earlier. Gonna change the change log again...
