Drag dropping files to drive icons don't work
Posted: 13 Jul 2011 12:57
Using this morning's beta. 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium. Dragged one file to a drive icon and received dialog box saying file copy failed. What did I do wrong?

Did you happen to copy to C:? If so, it could be due to file permissions for the root of the Windows boot drive (I just bumped into that myself while testing).DorothyFan1 wrote:Using this morning's beta. 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium.

In my case I was drag dropping the file onto a USB drive which was not the C drive.nas8e9 wrote:Did you happen to copy to C:?

You have to do a right DnD (with right mouse button)DorothyFan1 wrote:Using this morning's beta. 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium. Dragged one file to a drive icon and received dialog box saying file copy failed. What did I do wrong?
For diagnostic purposes, have you tried copying through both the drive button as well as regularly through the copy dialog (Ctrl+F7)?DorothyFan1 wrote:In my case I was drag dropping the file onto a USB drive which was not the C drive.nas8e9 wrote:Did you happen to copy to C:?

It works for me with the left button as well? The right button just produces a context menu with more options.jjk wrote:You have to do a right DnD (with right mouse button)DorothyFan1 wrote:Using this morning's beta. 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium.

I have background processing enabled for all processing plus custom copy. I was trying to drag drop an FLV file. It could be there's a file limitation built in that has to be removed.nas8e9 wrote:For diagnostic purposes, have you tried copying through both the drive button as well as regularly through the copy dialog (Ctrl+F7)?DorothyFan1 wrote:In my case I was drag dropping the file onto a USB drive which was not the C drive.nas8e9 wrote:Did you happen to copy to C:?

Do you have both Configuration > File operations > Background processing (applied to at leat copy) as well as Custom Copy, enabled?
Could you post a screenshot of the error message?
AFAIK the drive buttons simply hook directly into XYplorer's regular file operations with nothing added in the way of filters or limitations.DorothyFan1 wrote:I have background processing enabled for all processing plus custom copy.

Could you reproduce again and post a screenshot of the error message or alternatively, provide the error message verbatim?
When I clicked on the reports button I got a message saying access to the file is denied. What kind of an error would cause this? I tried the same operation by dragging and dropping the file manually between folders from one tab to the other. It completed successfully. So something is wrong with the dropping onto the drive icons.PeterH wrote:...you might wish to click Reports?
You say you tested dragging tab-to-tab between folders. Was the destination the same, i.e. the root of the same drive as before?DorothyFan1 wrote:When I clicked on the reports button I got a message saying access to the file is denied.
