Drag&Drop not working when XYplorer lose focus

Post by 1024mb »

Title.
Drag and drop isn't working anymore when XYplorer loses focus. If you drag and drop a file from XY to, say, Firefox and to do this you change focus to the Firefox window then XYplorer behaves weirdly and you can't drop anything. But if you open XYplorer and Firefox's windows side by side and you drag a file into Firefox it opens well because XYplorer doesn't lose focus.

I'm using latest beta 20.50.0304.

How do you change focus to the Firefox window?

While in XY drag the file into the Firefox (or any other app) icon on the taskbar and stay there for a second until it changes focus. Normal operation of drag and drop when you try to upload something to Dropbox, etc.

20.50.0305: By D&D of a folder from the list onto BeyondCompare, drop is not working.

Reverted to 20.50.0300, where there is no such a problem.

Cannot reproduce.

I don't have BeyondCompare, but generally DND of folders seems to work.

OK, my BC is 3.3.13, but this most probably does not matter.

What matters is that I now had time to find out that 20.50.0305 FRESH does not have the problem!

So it is an option combination and I have no idea which one could it be.

UPDATE: And yes, when it happens, it happens only after using Alt-Tab to switch from XY to a destination application (BC in my case). When just doing D&D between the two (without switching focus) it does not happen.

ShellDrag=0 (=unticked)

Since I can not remember when and why I unticked it, I ticked it now (=default now, ShellDrag=1) and perhaps I can live with it.

Yep, fixed in 20.50.0308, so now it works also when ShellDrag=0 (=unticked). :beer: :tup: Thanks!
