Use a button and script it.

<get drop> is the variable that contains what was dropped on it ...

It would take a lot more scripting than that anyway, highends suggestion was just meant as a starting point. Knowing your history with scripting, I think you might find it easier using a paperfolder, just create a new paper folder, open it, drag + drop your items into it, and manipulate in XY as per normal.

Hi Jupe
i guess it's the best way and it's easy
but dragging lots of files does freeze xyplorer
maybe teracopy free if it does keep to freeze
thanks Jupe

Hi @jupe
Have you noticed that draging lots of files will make xyplorer freezeing ?
