Windows 11, newest version (Sept 09, 2022) version of Filezilla.
As many of us have figured out, drag and drop in windows 11 is basically disabled. But I have loaded an amazing open source utility called explorerpatcher which restores a lot of windows 10 functionality to windows 11, including drag and drop for file explorer windows. https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher
However, I am unable to drag from the FileZilla remote site box to a windows file explorer window. I can drag to the filezilla local site folder just fine.
Are others having this issue? Is there a fix?

Re: Drag and Drop not working windows 11
Any update on this, or is this just the way it goes now?
Re: Drag and Drop not working windows 11
Is the FileZilla shell extension installed, and did you reboot since installing FileZilla?
Re: Drag and Drop not working windows 11
The normal File Explorer is a UWP app now, so, there might be problems. Will have to set up a test install in order to... test.
If EP restores the Win32 version of Explorer or it still is UWP, remains to be checked.

Re: Drag and Drop not working windows 11
A little more info for your testing:
With my setup (using EP), I can drag from a windows 11 explorer window to the FZ remote site files window and the files are uploaded to my server.
I cannot drag from the FZ remote site files server window to a windows 11 explorer window and have the files download - I see a stop sign symbol .
Thanks for your attention to this!
Tell me how to determine if the shell extension is installed. I installed FZ several weeks ago, not sure what options I chose. I just keep letting FZ update to the newest version.

Just tested with 22621.525. Drag and Drop fully works, both with the original File Explorer and with the one from EP. No matter if local or remote side.
Then, I re-ran Setup and removed the shell extension. Now, FileZilla showed the same behavior you witnessed.
So, you are indeed missing the shell extension. You need to re-run Setup, select "Add or remove components", and make sure the checkbox named "Shell extension" is ticked.

Re: Drag and Drop not working windows 11
Excellent! Like a dummy I must have unchecked that for some reason when I installed. I reran setup checking shell extension as suggested, and after a reboot it is working perfectly.boco wrote: ↑2022-10-07 17:04Just tested with 22621.525.
