Drag & Drop not working in 2.1.0

[Joon Ro]

Hi,

File drag & drop does not work in 2.1.0 - while it works in 2.0.7.
I'm using Windows 8 64bit, and just installed 2.1.0.

Best,
Joon

Hi Joon,

Do you mean dragging a .lyx file from the Windows file browser to an
open instance of LyX? I can do that on Ubuntu without problems.

Also, what do you mean by "does not work"? Do you get an error? Were
you using Windows 8 when you were using 2.0.7 or did you upgrade your
Windows version as well?

Best,

Scott

Yes.

Basically I cannot drop the file. As I drag a file over an open instance of
LyX, the cursor becomes "not allowed (
Loading Image...)"
one instead of the usual one with plus symbol, and if I drop the file,
nothing happens.

Windows version as well?

No the same windows. I just tried this in another machine, and in LyX
Version 2.1.0rc1 the drag and drop works. But now I uninstalled 2.1.0rc1
and install the 2.1.0, it stopped working.

Also, AutoHotkey stopped working with new LyX 2.1.0 either .. (custom
hotkeys and stuff).

Thanks for all of the details, Joon. My guess is that they are
differences between the installation files and not the underlying core
LyX code. That's really just an unfounded guess though. I don't know
if we'll get to the bottom of this unless you are able to compile LyX
yourself, which I think is tricky under Windows.

It feels like the QT used in lyx is messed up somehow.

Probably a different version of Qt. You can see it in the About LyX
dialog in version 2.1.

I could not find it. (No QT related info in the about dialog) Could you
please let me know exactly where I can see it?

Unfortunately this info is shown for development builds only :(

Perhaps you can get this information from the Qt dll files?

I'm happy to report that the file drag & drop (from an explorer to lyx) is
working with 2.1.1 in Windows 8.1 64bit.
