Drag and drop from TC to app (via dde) problem

Post by *bsh »

Hi,
I have this annoying problem: I used to drag'n'drop sometimes thousands of files, usually from TC's search --> feed to listbox --> mark all --> drag-drop to app. The app takes a long while to open the files (like half a day). During this, until all the files are opened, TC is unusable (set to 1 instance only if that matters). But not only TC, but drag'n'drop stops working even in Windows Explorer.
Is there like a single "channel" for drag'n'drop and until it's "clogged", it doesn't work anywhere else? Any way to fix this?

Yes, Drag&Drop is a global mechanism. Maybe try copy and paste instead?
