Drag & Drop Destination Highlight (?)

#1 Post by Blister2 » 12.02.2022, 18:44

FreeCommander XE 2022 Build 865 64-bit donor

When I drag a file to a destination directory, the destination doesn't change appearance, like it used to, to indicate, "this is definitely where it's going to go". The previous version (2020?) that I was using did do that, and I liked it. Have I overlooked something?

I have version 2022 build 860 32 bit public and do NOT have that issue. I would first confirm your version and then perhaps reset your colour scheme.

Thanks for the reply. That didn't seem to change anything, as far as this issue goes. I'm wondering if I should have posted this under "bugs"...?

Confirmed, with the NC-mode only, not sure if it's a bug, but in Explorer it's highlighted, also with default settings in FC.

Moved to Bug Reports.

FC 866, Windows 10.

Sorry to be daft, but what, exactly, *is* NC-Mode? And how do I make it active (turn it on, off, engage it...) or inactive?

I tried changing some settings there, but it didn't seem to affect this issue.

Ugh. I should have looked there--thanks!

I checked (looked at) my NC-Mode settings and they are all unchecked.

OK, so it's working only if NC-mode is disabled and White default color scheme is used.

If NC-mode or/and other color scheme is used, it's broken.

Anyway, tooltip with the folder name is shown, it's a good workaround, working with Blocking transfer option only.

Those are the settings that I'm using, and it doesn't work.

I'm not sure what you mean by "tooltip with the folder option"
My settings, exactly.

Please try the latest version 866 and test with the portable version, your custom settings will be preserved.

I tried a number of the x64 Donor versions, just overwriting the files from the zip--Results follow
866 is not good.
860 is not good.
813 is good.
820 is good.
830 is good.
840 is good.
850 is good.
852 is good.
853 is good.
855 is not good.

I hope this helps to nail it down.

OS is Windows 7 Pro x64.

Donor build 867 didn't fix it.

This has always only worked if Windows colors are used "Use Windows colors".
Currently I have no other solution.

That's how my settings are.

Just for a sanity check, I rolled back to Donor Build 813, and the destination lights up.
