Bug: Drag and Drop on desktop shortcut froze Files #15254

Open fastoy opened 4 months ago

fastoy commented 4 months ago

Description

In a folder view, I dragged an mp4 file and dropped it on top of a link to mpc-hc64.exe in OneDrive ("C:\Users\Ben Moore\OneDrive\Software\MPC-HC.1.7.13.x64\mpc-hc64.exe") that was on the desktop. An icon was displayed on the desktop with a "Move" arrow at the top left. That icon froze and then Files wouldn't access the mp4 file again. I had chosen the "Experimental" feature of having Files run as the default file explorer. I restarted Windows Explorer using the Task Manager but that'd didn't help. I even reset the default file explorer. I finally had to restart Windows.

That process works fine with Windows File Explorer.

Additionally, although I have the option set to display know file types, they aren't displayed in the list of recent files.

I'm running 3.3.0.0 on Windows 10.0.19045.4291.

@fastoy Can you add the information request above

I can rephrase it but those are the steps:

1 In a folder view

  1. Dragged an mp4 file from the folder and dropped it on top of a LINK on the desktop. That link was to mpc-hc64.exe in OneDrive ("C:\Users\Ben Moore\OneDrive\Software\MPC-HC.1.7.13.x64\mpc-hc64.exe")
  2. An icon was displayed on the desktop with a "Move" arrow at the top left. That icon froze and then Files wouldn't access the mp4 file again.

I had chosen the "Experimental" feature of having Files run as the default file explorer. I restarted Windows Explorer using the Task Manager but that'd didn't help. I even reset the default file explorer. I finally had to restart Windows.

appears to be duplicate of #6309

It doesn't look the same. This issue is about opening a file by dragging to a shortcut on the desktop to open the file in that program. The issue you link is about moving a file from the desktop to another folder in Files.
