Cannot drag-and-drop unzipping files from Winrar

#1 Post by macan999 » 08.03.2015, 13:21

I'm using FreeCommander XE 2015 Build 685 32-bit public portable version (http://freecommander.com/downloads/Free ... rtable.zip)
OS: Windows 8.1 64 bit (also in Windows 8.1 32 bit)

Try to open a zip or rar file using WinRar.
Then try to drag and drop any item in the Winrar to the any area in a folder in Freecommander.
It will fail to unzip the item.

I'm sure the problem is not the Winrar.
Because using the same way, I can unzip the item in Winrar to Windows Explorer

Does it work if you hold the Ctrl key while dragging?

I asked because there is an option you could try to toggle (equivalent with holding Ctrl key while dragging):

Edit: I decided to try to replicate your issue, so I used WinRAR 5.21 x64 portable and FC XE 685 public x86 portable with default settings on my win7x64sp1.
Result: I couldn't! Meaning that drag&drop works OK for me from WinRAR to FC XE and vice versa. This means that it might be your win8 at fault here (wish I could test that, but don't have access to any win8 machine) or one of your custom WinRAR/XE setting is interfering with the action.
Advice: try to replicate my experiment and post back your result here.

I let the 1st and the 2nd checkbox both are checked, but the 3rd and the 4th checkbox with any combination.
Result:
- I still can not drag and drop any item from Winrar (v3.80) to any area in a folder (file list).
- but drag and drop only works while the destination is a folder in the Tree Toggle (in freecommander, the tree that comes out by pressing Alt+T)
