Dropping file into xyplorer not working

Post by Miguel Melo »

Hi,

I seem to be unable to drop a file into any folder inside xyplorer, be it in the tree or in a file panel. I get a forbidden sign cursor.

I am running XY 28.30.1300 64-bit on a Windows 11 Pro 10.0.26200 Build 26200, screen scale 100%. It happens regardless of the source of the file (Explorer, WinRAR etc) - only copying between XY panels works.

Not sure when it started doing this - may have been when moving to x64 a couple of months back - only noticed it today.

Thanks!

XY running with admin rights and the other app not or vice versa.

Well, that seemed to be it! Thanks.

No idea why my taskbar pin would be launching XY elevated - and silently at that. But when launching from Start Menu explicitly, that was indeed the behaviour. Go figure.
