0.84: No Drag&Drop to parent folder

Post by helmut »

XnView: MP 0.84
OS: Windows 10 - 64bit

Dragging & dropping files to parent folder does not work

Effect: Expected functionality not available

To reproduce:
1. In Tools > Settings | Browser > File list | Custom Filter check [x] Visible for "Parent folders"
2. In XnView browser navigate to a folder which contains a JPG file
3. Drag the JPG file onto the parent folder and drop it.
Actual behaviour (bug): Nothing happens. Drag & Drop to parent folder is not supported.

Expected behaviour: File should be moved to parent folder.

Note:
This bug report describes a functionality that is missing in XnView MP. This functionality is available in XnView Classic, so I consider this as a bug.

The option "Visible for "Parent folders" is on tab "Custom filter" (which I think is wrong because it is a general option).

Ok, found the option, which was already checked. Almost posted that I couldn't reproduce it, because I was dragging the files to the parent folder in the left pane, not the '..' "folder" at the beginning of the directory listing. I would have never thought to try this or thought it was a bug, and if not for it being a feature in Classic I would call it a feature request. So reproduced in Win7x64 :wink:

Thank you for trying and confirming, vertigo.

It's a minor issue but it's those little things that make a good software. And it works in XnView Classic, so I think it should be handled as a bug.

O.k., thank you, I can also reproduce the problem. Issue 1210 is fixed in next version.

Tested with 0.87 beta 2, fixed.

Tried first with 0.86, saw that it was not allowed (forbidden mouse pointer).
With 0.87 beta 2 a file can be dragged to i'ts parrent folder.
