Drag and Drop from different monitor throws error

[activepirate]

When I try to drag pages from my PDF editor from screen 1 into XYplorer on screen 2, XYplorer throws an error message. If I do it with both program windows on the same monitor it works fine. This bug seems to be new with 27.00.0400 or at least a recent version, because I do this often and have not gotten errors in the past.

Let me know if you need further info. Screenshot attached.

I absolutely love your program, I have used it for more than 10 years, and I can't imagine living without it. Thank you!

I'm not aware of any changes in this area. What was the last version that worked?

[activepirate]

I'm not sure. Do you have a page where I can download older versions? I'll test it and let you know.

Thanks.

The drag and drop works fine in 26.90. It throws an error in 27.00.

All I did was unzip and run the two versions. I did not make any config changes.

Which PDF editor is that, and which Windows version?

Could you test if it still works with v26.90.0102 (viewtopic.php?p=227653#p227653)? I suspect that v26.90.0104 introduced the issue:

Code: Select all

v26.90.0104 - 2025-02-22 12:22
    + MP3 Preview: If the Preview Pane (Ctrl+F11) is visible, any available album art will 
      now be displayed in the Preview Pane while the MP3 is playing.
    ! Drag and Drop from outside: Did not handle FileContents dropped as ISTREAM correctly 
      in all contexts. Fixed.

I tried it with v26.90.0104 and it still throws the error.

But I went back several versions and they are all throwing the error. Even 26.90.0300 is throwing the error now (but it wasn't earlier today). I'm not sure what has changed.

I can still drag and drop the page from the pdf into Windows Explorer and it works fine.

I can drag and drop into XYplorer ONLY if it on the same screen as my PDF application window.

Hmm, bummer. Anyway, try the next beta.

[activepirate]

Will do. Thanks for your help. I'll let you know if it starts working again.

I just upgraded to 27.00.0500 and drag and drop worked. But then when I closed and reopened the PDF program, it stopped working and went back to giving the error message. I closed and reopened XYplorer, but that didn't fix it.

Maybe this will help diagnose the problem.

[admin]

Hm, that's a weird one.
