      Seens that I can’t drad-and-drop anymore using Notepad++ v6.8.8.

      Is that a bug? Where can I report this?

      Thank you!

        @Marcelo-Luz,

        issues can be reported here.
        I’m using npp 6.8.8 as well and I don’t have that behaviour.
        Can we get a debug info output? Goto ?->Debug Info

        Cheers
        Claudia

          Thanks for your fast reply, Claudia!

          I’ve created the issue #1431 with this possible bug and also with the debug info.

          Cheers,

          Marcelo.

            Hello Marcelo-Luz,

            I assume I know what’s going on.
            You start npp as elevated process (as seen by Admin mode : ON) but, I assume,
            explorer was start with normal privileges. When you now, drag a file from explorer
            to npp you get that kind of behaviour as windows doesn’t allow it.
            In general, a process with lower privilege cannot drag something to a process with higher privileges. So, solution would be either to start explorer as admin as well or npp with normal privileges.

            Cheers
            Claudia
