Drag and Drop Bugs? (FreeCommander XE 2026 Build 941 32-bit)

#1 Post by ikkyo » 23.03.2026, 12:00

Just wanted to know if somebody else is seeing such effects.
Both are not permanent and happens from time to time.
Not sure what triggers them.
Both are quite new. I think since 940.
Found a thread "XE 2026 Build 940 (moving files issue)". It could be related, will try the workaround there, but the effect 1 is not mentioned there.

Windows 10.
Both FC windows open and both have folder tree visible.
"Refresh when FreeCommander is activated" is active as well as both other "file/folder list" refresh option.
"File/folder operations" all "Use Windows".

Effect 1:
Select a file and try to drag and drop from one window file list to another window folder tree. It supposed to be moved.
Kind of "New Link" symbol appears on the mouse cursor, file not moved, another folder tab with the same path opens.
Selecting multiple files for the move triggers multiple tabs to open (i think maximum 5).
Restart of FreeCommander helps, same action works then.

Effect 2:
Select a file and try to drag and drop from one window to another. It supposed to be moved.
"Move..." symbol shown on the cursor.
File is just copied not moved.
Restart of FreeCommander helps, same action works then.

Regards

Marek

Could you please send me your freecommander.ini file?
The location of the file you can find under Help->About.

Thanks for the file.
Unfortunately, I can not reproduce your problems.
Try to gather your observations about whether the problem arises after any other actions.

Thanks,
difficult, but I'll try.
There seems to be something, but I cannot figure out what.
After FreeCommander restart it is working fine again.

CopyPasteInThread=0
did not help though.
