BoltBait Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 When I drag a graphic file from an explorer window over Paint.NET I just get a (/) cursor. It won't let me drop the picture onto the canvas. I know on XP this works fine. I did it a ton on my old PC that I was using over the weekend. Any reason why it wouldn't function on my "work" PC? Do you need any additional information from me? Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Are you running it as administrator? If so, Windows does not permit low-privileged apps (e.g. Explorer) to drop things onto high-privileged apps.

BoltBait Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 Yup. That's it. Bummer. I run Paint.NET in administrator mode for CodeLab. (If you don't run admin mode, CodeLab can't save to DLL.)

Rick Brewster Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Proper solution is for Paint.NET to allow non-admin plugin install/use. Burden's on me, in other words.

BoltBait Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 I believe I could do this inside of CodeLab... if CodeLab was 2 DLL's--one loaded by Paint.NET at default security and the other loaded by the first dll to build a dll. Of course, launching the second dll would give a security prompt by the OS. But, that would be ok because it would only happen when actually building a dll. It's just complicated and I've not bothered making that change yet.
