Sorry if this has been mentioned. I've noticed that if I right click and drag files from one tab to another, the context menu that appears for the drop depends on where I release: If I release while over a directory in the tree of the left pane, I get options to Move or Copy (or create shortcut(s)). If I release over the file list in the right pane, I only get an option to Copy (and, again, an option to create shortcut(s)).
The behavior noted is as if XYplorer thinks I dropped the file(s) on the same directory as the source. However, this behavior occurs even if I drag to a different tab, with a different directory in focus. And obviously, if you drag to a different tab, with a different directory open, you should be able to Move, even if you release over the file listing (i.e. right pane).
Drag to right pane - Copy ... Drag to left pane - Move

Re: Drag to right pane - Copy ... Drag to left pane - Move
Yes, well seen, thanks. Fixed in next BETA.

Thank you. Sorry, I'm still seeing a similar kind of problem. But rather than occurring when dragging between XYplorer tabs, it now happens when dragging from an Explorer window to the file list (i.e. right tab) of XYplorer.
What happens is this: I right click a file in an Explorer window, and drag it to a file list in the XYplorer window. When I release the right mouse button, I initially get a Copy option, but no Move option.
I say "initially" in the sentence above because if I try the exact same thing again (without having moved or copied the file the first time), I get the correct menu--one with both Copy and Move options.
Seems like it's a focus issue or something.
