Drag and drop from Outlook to XYplorer

Hi, I'm trying out XYplorer, but cannot seem to figure out how to drag and drop files sent in MS Outlook, into XYplorer. I'm only doing the trial version, and really like this program, but would not buy this if I can't drag and drop. Can anyone help me? I've searched through the entire program, gone through the help file. Quite disappointing.

Thanks.

Hi and welcome to the XY forums!

While i don't do that function myself, a forum search on Outlook in "first posts" led to:
http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5803
http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4224

Which may not help but the topic has come up before -- I'm sure one of the other forum regulars may be able to do better than me.

XYplorer 10.10.0101 and Outlook 2010 x64 SP1 on Windows 7 x64 SP1 work for me: I can drag .pdf's from Outlook to XYplorer without file corruption.

Could you list your Windows, Outlook and XYplorer version (including bitness), as well as which file type(s) you've tried?

What are the versions of XYplorer and Outlook in question? I can DnD from Outlook 2010 64-bit into a factory-default XYP v.10.10.0100.

Thanks for your responses. For some strange reason, i rebooted my computer and the drag and drop started to work. So there you go, the age old, reboot/restart advice prevails.
Cheers,
