Drag and Drop

Post by alexc »

I'm still evaluating the trial, and I can't seem to drag and drop from the list of files to, for example, another app (or even to the catalog).
Is that a limitation of the trial or just something about the software itself?

You tried to drag in onto a category in the catalog?

Which app, how exactly did you drag and drop (both apps side by side)?
Is any of the involved apps running with admin permissions?

I get no "reaction" when I drag a file, it is almost as if it had no "stickiness".
So I basically can't drag anywhere

If manual sorting is checked I can move the files around in the list, but not anywhere else...

So you can't for example drag from Xyplorer to Photoshop or any app? That seems odd no?

Answers to your questions

1/You tried drag into a "category" in the catalog : Yes

2/Which app : any app
3/How exactly did you drag and drop (both apps side by side) : I have Xyplorer open in one part of my screen, and Photoshop or Chrome in another part of the screen. I try to grab a file to move it to another app
4/Is any of the involved apps running with admin permissions? : I don't know, and I don't need admin permissions with Windows Explorer.

What happens when you drag a file to the desktop, does that work?
If not, how does the cursor look like once you reach the desktop area?

I tried it to drag a .gif from XY to Chrome and had no problems with it.
Both running with user permissions

And now you do it by clicking on the file name and not on it's icon...
