PXP X8 - Drag and drop not working - FIXED

Post by Simon Walden »

I can no longer drag and drop onto PSPX8.

No matter what application I drag from I get the "no entry" icon.

I can drag and drop to anywhere else.

This might have occurred after switching workspaces but can't confirm that.

How are you trying the drag and drop: using the mouse or keyboard?

Are you running PSP with elevated privileges (as administrator?) We've seen the issue where if PSP is running elevated you can't drag and drop because Windows Explorer does not itself run with elevated privileges so they can't talk to one another. Same would be true of any other program.

That's exactly what it is.

Pain in the b*** I use the Kodak Digital Gem which needs to run as admin in Windows 10.

I'll have to come up with a work round

Thanks for the reply
