Drag and Drop PSPX5

trueblue · Post by **trueblue** » Sun May 05, 2013 4:02 am

I've been able to drag and drop in previous versions, ie: PSPX4. For some reason I cannot drag and drop into PSPX5.
I'm sure when I first installed it I could do that, now when I try to drag an image into the programme I have round black icon with a line across denoting I can't do this.

Can anyone help with some advice why this maybe happening? I have Windows 8 64bit.

From where are you trying to drag the image?

Hmmmm, not sure this helps, but it works fine here on Win7. So I gather it is a capacity PSPX5 should have. Good luck sorting it out.

No problem dragging and dropping into the X5 workspace using Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. Ergo it must be something to do with Windows 8.

Thank you for your replies.

I am using Windows Pro 8 64 bit. I can drag/drop from file explorer, desktop etc. directly into the document workspace with X4 but not X5.
I am beginning to think it is something to do with Win8 but have no idea how to find out or fix it. It's odd I can do it in X4 but not X5.

Have you installed the latest service pack for PSPX5?

It works fine for me using Windows 8 Pro 64-bit (in Desktop Mode).

I also have no such issues with my Windows 8 installation.

Which means it's specific with you, though the OS could still be a culprit might want to look at other things before blaming the OS.

Here's a dumb question, which of your two installations of PSP is setup as the default program for editing images?

It's not a dumb question at all Matthew.

X4 is in default and X5 is a customised workspace. However, even if I return X5 to default workspace I still cannot drag and drop.

The question about the updates, yes I am fully updated thanks.

It is obvious a problem between X5 and something in my OS that seems I have to try sort out. I can live without it for the moment, but I was curious if this was a problem for others.

Thank you all for your assistance.

I know this is an old post, but I came here looking for the exact problem. I finally found the solution for no drag and drop for any program. To solve this problem, go to paintshop icon right click choose property -> Compatibility -> Settings -> uncheck Run this programs as an administrator.. then click apply -> ok.. it will work. Make sure you are not running as an administrator and it will let you drag and drop.
