I can't drag & drop files in the blender file navigator

Hi,

I try to drag an drop files in the blender file view. I can drag the chosen file, but when i drop it on the targeted folder, nothing happen.

In the exemple below (screen capture), I try to drag & drop the “untitled” file (selected) in the “ZZ test” folder. But it doesn’t work.

Does blendler allow to do it ? Something wrong in my way to handle it ?

Thanks in advance.

The blender file viewer is not a file explorer substitute… it’s onlye to selecting files or folders and maybe creating the later… Why would someone drag a file into this ? Wouldn’t some windows user use the explorer or any other file browser for this ?? Even for moving some files…

:thinking: i never had the idea to drag any file into any file viewer of any app… is this common in windows ?? I also never had the ide on linux which i’m working with… :person_shrugging:

No idea either, this never worked for any application file viewer afaik…
PEBKAC I guess… :man_shrugging: :grin:

Thanks for your answers !

That’s right this is common in windows system.
That’s why I did it without any question and was suprised of the result : :laughing:

I did’nt know what to deduce because a yellow label appeared “file selector drop” (see the capture screen above) letting me thinking it was possible …
