XYplorer Beta Club

I've long had a habit of dragging-and-dropping from the Firefox address bar (or tab) to Explorer windows, in order to create .URL files that point to the current URL.

But when I drag onto XYplorer 5.00.0019, I get an error stating "Can't drop text".

I thought I had dragged from Firefox to XYplorer before, but maybe not... And I know this may not be a "bug" in the real sense. But in any case, can this be made to behave like Explorer?

Yep, a cute little interaction trick that's missing from XY. I added it and it works smoothly.
Only one thing I wasn't able to do: somehow Explorer senses the document title of the web page and uses it as file name for the internet shortcut. XY instead will create "New Internet Shortcut.url" and invoke rename mode.

Up to now it's implemented only for the list. I'll add tree, catalog, and tabs later. I'll also add creation of internet shortcuts by simply pasting URLs (copied from plain text) -- Explorer can't do that!

I'm guessing it has to do with SHDOCVW.DLL and ShellExecute API. But it's probably best to ignore me on this.

I won't ignore you if you send me working code
