Drag and Drop from different monitor throws error

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?

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.

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.

Hm, that's a weird one.
