Problem with drag and drop an image from FireFox to XYplorer

[platanos]

Hi, in windows explorer and FireFox I can drag with mouse an image from a website in FireFox and drop it into a window. It will automatically be downloaded and transfered to that folder.

However, when I try to do it in XYplorer I always get this error:



How can I fix it? I do this action a lot of times per day, so it is vital for me to work like windows default explorer.

Any help on this will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Yes, this is a known issue with Firefox. You can edit XYplorer.ini (see below) to work around it.

Code: Select all

v7.50.0011 - 2008-09-02 21:36
    + INI-Tweak to make dropping images from Firefox 3 work.
        [General]
        WorkAroundFirefox3ImageDropBug=1
      If set to 1, the images are actually *downloaded* from their web 
      location to your harddisk.

Hi admin, thanks for your help.

Could you please tell me in what part do I have to write that code?

I have opened the ini file and added WorkAroundFirefox3ImageDropBug=1 here:

[General]
LastVer=7.90.0120
WorkAroundFirefox3ImageDropBug=1
WinW=900
WinH=600
WinX=190
WinY=100
...

But doesn't work. In fact I have lost my configuration, as now when I open XYplorer all the options are reset. I know I'm doing something wrong .

Sorry, I should have explained better.

One way would be:
1. menu Tools / Edit configuration file...
2. XYplorer.ini should now be opened in your default editor
3. Look for WorkAroundFirefox3ImageDropBug (it's already there!)
4. Set it to 1
5. Save XYplorer.ini and close the editor.
6. Menu File / Restart without saving

Or you could just paste this in the address bar and hit enter (assuming you haven't disabled quick scripting):

Code: Select all

::#182;SetKey("1", "WorkAroundFirefox3ImageDropBug", "General");#190;

It will save your current configuration, enable the work around, and then restart XY.

Thank you both.

I've tried in first place the instructions from admin, but after doing all I kept geting the same error when saving an image.

However I've entered the command from The Qwerty and it works now fine

I think the problem was the Vista's UAC, but with the command it has worked.

Thanks again for your great help.
