File drag-and-drop usability
Posted: 28 Dec 2021 23:14
My request is for a tweak in handling drag-and-drop from an external program. I'll share my workflow to help clarify:
I open a scanned PDF with a collection of documents in it in Acrobat Pro, I select a page range, I drag it out into a file manager, and I hit F2 to rename the resulting PDF containing the pages I chose.
Why doesn't XYplorer work well for this? Firstly, it doesn't grab focus after the drop like File Explorer does. Secondly, it doesn't change selection to the resulting PDF file. So I have to drop it in, click on XYplorer, then click on the "Untitled Extract Pages.pdf" once I find it before renaming. It would be a nice usability tweak to at least offer this as an option.
Thank you for this fantastic program!
