[fixed] drag and drop files from other software broken ?

[lian00]

Hello, with v.21.40.0100 (and beta), I cannot anymore drag and drop files from browser or Win Explorer to XYplorer. I have the forbidden icon showing. It’s something I do every day so I’m quite surprised - I did not touch options except the new Custom Event Action feature (great by the way).

Update : it works again. Quite strange.

I guess it was one of those Windows hick-ups. A reboot often helps.

I won’t panic next time.

Help! Several reboots did nothing for me. I do have 'standard shell drag and drop' enabled in shell integration, also custom copy for all copy and move for all, is there anything else I should check off or try? It is driving me nuts... I am using the latest XY, Win 10/64bit updated several reboots ago ...

XYplorer = started elevated
Browser = not
?

Do you mean that XY should or should not be running elevated?
I am afraid that I tried it both ways, to no avail. But maybe I should reboot in between? Pls let me know.
Thanks Emil

If XY is started elevated than the application you want to drag from (e.g. your browser) must be started elevated, too.

Tick this
Configuration | General | Safety Belts, Network | Safety Belts | Show drag status box

Do you see such a box when you drag an url from your browser on the next drag?

If not, how does the cursor look like once you are in the XY window?

Hi, thanks for responding so quickly (was night here in Canada)

It is not elevated. Used to drag into XY started as admin with no troubles, as long as the other application (mostly pix from iMatch DEM) was also started as administrator. This time - I can' even drag into XY from the win10 file explorer ...

No box, and show just the 'no entry sign'.
