Drag-n-Drop with Jungledisk

I'm trying out a new piece of software called JungleDisk (http://www.jungledisk.com) that provides a WebDAV network interface to Amazon's S3 storage service (http://aws.amazon.com/s3).

The JungleDisk software provides a couple ways to access the files. XY interacts with a mapped drive letter just fine. However, JungleDisk also provides something they call "My JungleDisk" which opens up an Explorer window to the WebDAV server - I think it's just using Explorer's built in WebDAV support.

Dragging & dropping files between that window and XY (6.20.0000) does not work. Files dropped into the "My JungleDisk" window from XY simply do nothing, while files dropped into XY from the window result in a messagebox:

---------------------------
Error Moving File or Folder
---------------------------
Cannot move file: Cannot read from the source file or disk.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

Drag-n-Drop with the "My JungleDisk" window works fine to/from Explorer or Dopus windows.

Let me know if there's any additional information you need or something you want me to try.

Yes: tell me when you stopped trying JungleDisk... :wink:

... or when you are sure you continue to use it. :)

Well, I plunked down $20 for the JungleDisk - it just seems a nice affordable way to get offline back-up where everything is completely under my control.

Anyway, I'm not overly concerned about the "My JungleDisk" window, since I expect to interact with those files using a mapped drive letter. As far as I'm concerned this can go quite low on your priority list, but let me know if you want me to do some debug runs.

Ok, fine!
