Broken drag and drop feature

[joebananas]

From the help file,

"- Drag a file to the command line to add its short (DOS) name to it. To add the long name, press Ctrl+Enter instead. Holding down Shift adds the name with full path."

This seems to have broken recently for network shares (mapped drives) on win 7 clients. I know it works on XP from both local drives and mapped network drives but not in Win 7 on the same network.

Any thoughts?

Hello, joebananas.

Can you explain a bit more detailled what does not work and what happens instead?

On filenames on a mapped network drive:

Drag and drop a filename to the commandline or pressing ctrl-enter will both copy the long filename to the commandline here.

Shift drag and drop a filename to the commandline or pressing shift-ctrl-enter will both copy the fully qualified filename to the commandline here.

Windows 7 Enterprise, 32-bit
Total Commander 7.55a

Kind regards,
Karl

Works for me, even on network shares! Maybe the server has dos names disabled?

If you drag a file from "Branch view <Ctrl+B>" or "Search result list" and the file is placed inside a subfolder, always the long name is copied into the command line (also on local drives).
Maybe this is the bug?

Indeed it's currently not possible to convert to short name in branch view, sorry.
