b928: drag & drop operations messed up

#1 Post by kino » 12.04.2025, 09:21

Hello,

I hate opening an imprecise topic but before I start shooting captures and fine descriptions, I'd like to know if I'm the only one experiencing that :

Drag & drop operations have started to be messed up (without any config changed from my part) as :
  • they do not default as before (same disk operations used to move rather than copy, especially if the icon remain the red-backgrounded arrow)
  • operation can change between panel and tree (appear as move and becore the blue-backgrounded arrow on tree to become "create shortcut" operation)
  • not perform at all or perform other operation: copy instead of move
  • etc.
I've suspected it might come from my system/os but Windows file explorer performs normally (if "performs" can be used to speak about Windows file explorer)

Is that behavior identified on your side ? (known issue ?)

Thx.

K.

Please check the release 929.
If you want exactly same behavior as in 926, use the new option "External tool is used for drag&&drop"

Hello Marek,
929 fixed it (and I'm fine with FC ops)
Thanks !

b929: still problematic to move to parent folder (.. dot dot) -> Re: b928: drag & drop operations messed up

Hello,
I felt that as a sequel it wouldn't deserve a new topic : I still encounter this faulty behavior -> moving a file to .. (parent folder) doesn't produce any effect in build 929.
Moving to tree panel also is inoperant (a shortcut-alike icon appears at mouse-pointer but nothing happens at the end)
Thx
Xavier

oh well : moving to .. now works but I still have the move to tree panel not working (with some weird "link" alike icon at hoovering in the tree panel)
it produces strictly no effect

done with 931 ? -> Re: b928: drag & drop operations messed up

Problems looks like gone with b931 although not in releases notes.
Either I'm hallucinating or there was a vertuous side effect.
Anyway ; looks good now.
Thanks

b931 : drag & drop operations still messed up after a while

#8 Post by kino » 20.05.2025, 04:56

Hello,

I now have some specifics :

After a while (I haven't identified which event : time ? deep sleep ? ...), move to tree panel folders changes the icon to that small "create link" look alike :
weird_link_alike_move_icon_to_tree_pane.png


...if I restart FreeCommander, it returns to normal (for a while) :
normal_move_icon_to_tree_pane.png

'hope this helps figuring out what's the cause (?)
Thx
K.
