[Windows] Drag and Drop does not work

[mugiwara]

Thanks for the update. I went ahead and am now able to use my UNC paths. Unfortunately, at least on my system, I now appear to have another issue - I can no longer drop and drag files into the filebot rename section. If I open th main application GUI, and then click load on the bottom in the rename section, I am able to broswe to the item as expected and select the file for analysis. However, if in a window explorer, I select a group of files and attempt to drag them over to the original files section of the rename tab, my mouse turns into a prohibited icon and I am unable to drop the files. This happens for both local files and files over UNC paths. Since there is no actual error, I dont seem to have anything in the logs that can actual be pasted here since I cant even insert the files for a rename operation. Any ideas?

Note that when I tried some additional tests, this behavior only occurs when running the "filebot.launcher.exe" directly (which is the shortcut that is created on my desktop), which launches the application without a pop under command window. When navigating to the install directory and running "filebot.exe" which also spawns a command window, I am able to drag and drop.

OS Name: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
OS Version: 10.0.18362 N/A Build 18362
Filebot Version: FileBot 4.9.1 (r7372) / OpenJDK Runtime Environment 14 / Windows 10 10.0 (amd64)

Windows does not allow drag and drop between applications that run as different users. If you run FileBot as Administrator, and Explorer as User, or vice versa, then drag-and-drop won't work.

Cool, thanks for that. Makes sense, that process installed with the run as admin flag set for some reason. Even though the user is the same, I guess elevated vs standard privileges would do that. Working as expected now, appreciate the support.
