DRAG and DROP functionality

I have 3 PC's using Jalbum 37.5 AND use the TIGER Skin on the same album on all three.

1: Laptop w Win10
2: Desktop w Win 10
3: Laptop w Win 11
Working with the same album drag & drop WORKS with 1: BUT NOT 2: & 3: , it used to.

Drag & Drop works in other applications and explorer etc BUT NOT Jalbum.
Anybody else experienced this and if Yes, how did you fix this ??

This is most frustrating as Drag & Drop is a very productive function in tuning album and folder layouts.

Hoping and praying there is a known solution out there.

There is a long lasting bug in the Windows Explorer which prevents drag and drop from the Windows Explorer to any other application. But there is an easy solution, just press <ESC> in the Windows Explorer and drag and drop will work again. Or, as known for centuries: Reboot Windows.

Thank you Markus,

I will follow that path vigorously.

I wanted to add another observation I have just had.
If I open up an OLD album in Jalbum 37.5 , low and behold the drag & drop function works as expected, but still not with a very recent or new album created fresh.

So my observation is that maybe this is an issue with the particular settings created in a recent or new album created with 37.5 ??

Interested to see your comments and feedback on this notion.

(Thread moved - the skin has no role to play in what happens in the jAlbum Explore window.)

I don't want to argue, but I don't think that's possible. The behavior of the Explore window in jAlbum is independent of what version was used to create a particular project. The jAlbum preferences aren't stored with the project - only the settings for that project, things like skin, font choices, colors, etc.
