#1 5.5.1 (825) Can't Drag file from Windows File Explorer to Open

Posted by: Dave_in_Austin | Date: 2025-02-16 20:07 | IP: IP Logged

Just upgraded from 5.0.7 64Bit to 5.5.1(825) and I can't open files by dragging them from the Windows 11 file explorer. The tool simply does not accept it. I do this dozens of times per day and having to slog through the file open dialog is way too slow. I will have to back down to 5.0.7.

Update. The problem seems to have been caused by using the updater to move from 5.0.7 to 5.5.1. I went into control panel and completely uninstalled PSPad (there were several instances from upgrading over the years) and then did a fresh install of 5.5.1 and it seems to work fine. The upgrade-in-place process (which is relatively new) may still have some issues.
