What am I doing wrong?!?!

Post by n2tpa »

I am using version 18.90.0000. I run a few instances of XYPlorer, all portable, all on the same machine (Dell, Win 10). On one of those instances, I cannot drag and drop. On the others, no problem. On all, I have disabled left-click drag and drop, so this problem is only for right-click D&D. On the one that doesn't work, there is no error, only that the right-click shell menu appears when I try to "drop"; not the usual "copy", "paste", Shortcut" type of menu.

I am sure I have a setting set incorrectly that is causing this. Does anyone have any idea what setting may be the problem?

It may be this:

Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Safety | Context Menus | Custom drag and drop context menu

I compared good and bad *.ini files side-by-side, line-by-line and changed every setting that even sounded close to this topic. Now it works. I probably changed more than 50 things though, so I'll never know which did the trick.

That's a downside to a program that is so configurable: you can configure yourself into a corner and cause unintended problems. I'd still rather have the level of configurability that XY offers though.

Thanks for the suggestion.
