Star-Dust Expert Licensed User Longtime User May 16, 2019 #1 When I take a file (text or images) and drag and drop it into the files window, it will not accept the files. While if I do the same operation on B4i or B4J (with the same files) instead everything continues correctly and adds the files to me The only way to add on B4A is to click on the ADD FILES button. Why?

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User May 16, 2019 #4 You will need to provide more information. Maybe post a screencast.
Star-Dust Expert Licensed User Longtime User May 16, 2019 #5 B4J B4A The video does not show the dragged file because the ScreenVideo does not record the Mouse. But the file is dragged correctly, but is not released, in the file window (of B4A) it becomes a cut circle.

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User May 19, 2019 #10 It should look like this: Note how the mouse cursor should look. I guess that something on your computer interferes with the drag and drop task. Anyway as there is a very simple workaround I'm leaving it open for now.

Star-Dust Expert Licensed User Longtime User May 22, 2019 #12 I found the problem. I set B4A.EXE to work with administrator privileges, this prevents (I don't know why) that the DRAG & DROP is done. Now after deactivating the administrator privileges everything works correctly. Last edited: May 22, 2019
