Drag and Drop issues in Windows 8(.1)?

[Ithiel]

Hi Red,

Not sure if it's a Windows 8 (or 8.1) issue, but drag and drop doesn't work for me anymore. :-/

When I try and drag something into FileBot, I get a red circle with a line through it and it won't let me drop anywhere.

Also, not sure if it's related or not, but I'm also having some file browsing issues as well in network locations.

Sub folders of shares work fine, but top level share folders freak out.

i.e. browsing locations like this are fine:
\\mynas\media\TV-Shows\ or \\mynas\media\Movies\007- James Bond - Collection\A View To A Kill (1985 PG)\

but here freaks out and locks up the file browser in FileBot:
\\mynas\media\

If I start in the TV-Shows folder, I can browse deeper, but if I try and go 'up' out of TV-Shows into the parent media folder, it also spits chips >.<

any ideas?

Have you tried mounting the network share with a drive letter?

Generally there's nothing I can do about these things. Updating Java may or may not help, also listing files seems very basic so if there is an issue it's probably very specific to you, and if there is a bug in Java or Windows it'd probably take days of debugging to even get close.

Yup - I've got it mounted as 'N:\'... however it doesn't work AT ALL if I try via the network drive.

Any attempts to call any path via a network drive generates the following error: java.lang.NullPointerException

[rednoah]

Can you check the console output and send me the whole stacktrace?

If there's an NPE in Java I might be able to fix it.

Happy hunting

try 1944

[Ithiel]

lol, well - it doesn't give an error anymore. It doesn't open the files/folders either, but it doesn't give an error

We'll call that a "partial success" >.<

[rednoah]

That's what I thought. The NPE only happened because somehow there was a folder that had NULL children, not 0, but NULL. That can't happen. Though in your case it does. The usual suspect would be permissions issues.

[Ithiel]

The usual suspect would be permissions issues.

Permissions to what? the program or the path?

I can browse to the path without issue (via mapped drive or direct network path), it's just that FileBot only 'likes' the network path. Also, I've tried running FileBot as administrator to see if that helped, but it didn't make any difference :-/

[rednoah]

Not sure. Permissions with Windows/SMB especially with Linux samba server are always tricky and never quite make sense. Or it's bugs. These things are never 100% compatible.
