Can not drag data file from file explorer in to data portal

[jon.bleakney]

Hello,

I recently upgraded diadem to 2017 64 bit and i am no longer able to drag files from windows file explorer into the data portal. I did not have this issue with diadem 2015.

I have uninstalled diadem reinstalled diadem, I have tried resetting the the DataFinder and i am not sure what else to try.

If anyone can lend some help I would sure appreciate it.

Hi jon.bleakney,

I check that with the latest DIAdem 2018 version as well as with DIAdem 2017 SP1 and it works fine.

Hi Jon,

I have noticed for many many DIAdem versions that if I choose to launch DIAdem with the "Run as Administrator" option, that I am not able to drag&drop files from Windows Explorer.  When I shut down that DIAdem instance and start up a new instance normally, I can drag again.

Any chance you started launching as Administrator recently?

Brad,

Thanks for the response. I have not been running Diadem as Administrator, but for fun i tried to run it as administrator but sadly ended up with the same results.

Thanks for you feed back
