[solved] Drag & Drop to inactive tabs in the inactive pane doesn't activate that tab
Posted: 20 Aug 2025 19:29
When doing drag & drop, hovering the mouse cursor over an inactive tab in the active pane will make XYplorer switch to that tab. This feels natural and it allows dropping source files/folders into subfolders of the target tab. With Dual Pane view, XYplorer does not switch to (or activate) inactive tabs in the inactive pane. While files/folders can still be dropped into the current folder of an inactive tab, its subfolders are unreachable without cancelling the drag & drop attempt and activating the tab manually beforehand.
I am reporting this as a bug, and not as a wish, because activating a tab by hovering does work inside the active pane, and it feels inconsistent that it doesn't work inside the inactive pane. Apart from that, I think it would enhance the usability of XYplorer further.
