Dragging and dropping from a windows explorer folder worked up until 1.13, it has been broken in 1.14 and 1.15
It is extremely useful & extrordinarily easy to use, has it been deliberately removed?

Hi MB,

I'm just looking at this now and can't get it to break.
Perhaps this is related to the specific macros you are using. Are you happy to post one that isn't working for you?

Thanks
Chris.

OK,

I have it sorted, its a little obscure, I installed the last two beta releases in a manor where i subsequently had to tell the executable to run in administrator mode in order to get it to run at all.
I am not sure why i had to do this for these two releases, but perhaps something changed on my machine that i'm still unaware of.

It seems you cannot drag and drop from windows explorer if octane running as administrator.
I reinstalled as administrator, i now do not have to run it as administrator, and it works.

best

Hi MB,

Awesome, thanks for that. That's interesting I might look into why this happens and if it's isolated to just octane.

Thanks
Chris.
